To most people, Andrey Arshavin would have registered on their consciousness in the summer of
2008. He was boyish in his looks; his plum cheeks and fluffy hair were never going to hide his
impish charm but it wasn't before long he displayed all his cunning trickery. Suspended for the
first two games of the European Championships with Russia one of which included a 4-0 defeat to
Spain Arshavin made an instant impression.
At last, we are back to club action and the return of the WCR Top 25 Clubs in world football. I
know there are lots of people out there who have an affinity for international football but I just
can't get into qualifying for continental tournaments and international friendlies. What I can get
into, of course, is what we are all getting into this weekend.
