Andrei & Julia Arshavin: The New Posh & Becks.

By: chris | February 9th, 2009

It’s official: move over David & Victoria, there’s a new power couple coming to take over England (even if only one of them is allowed to drive).

After getting our first taste of the ridiculousness put forth by the voices inside Andrei Arshavin’s head last week with his thoughts on female drivers (not a fan), darkness (was once and is still afraid of it), creatures in the water (ditto) and lies (Honest Andrei), his wife/girlfriend/baby momma – that’s her in the picture along with Andrei and Andrei’s older brother – has unleashed her tongue as well.

Let’s just say they’re the perfect couple.

Julia’s anti-London/England diatribe:

“As far as London’s citizens are concerned, I didn’t like them at all. They are very dirty, scruffy. London is a very dirty city. The women there don’t care about themselves and what they look like.

They are very scruffy. Often you see a woman in a street gobbling up a hamburger with grease dropping on her dress. English food is disgusting. It doesn’t taste good and the price doesn’t correspond to the quality. I didn’t like English beer, either.

“I can’t understand how the whole of England can drink it at lunchtime. Although I was only there a few days, I was homesick. I wanted to go back to my St Petersburg home.”

Well, at least she hasn’t just moved there this week or anything. That’d be awful.

What’s basically happening is the Arshavins are brick by brick tearing down any hopes of anyone in England not despising their souls. Or at least it looks that way. (Or maybe they’re angling for a move to Napoli?)

Julia’s a “radio presenter” of some sort, so this is likely just the tip of the iceberg, which is flatout awesome. Just wait til she finds a nice run of form and assails everything from Union Jack to the queen’s feminine grooming habits.

Who needs Becks & Posh or Jose & his dog when you’ve got Andrei & Julia? Football’s latest and greatest power couple.

As an added bonus, this is Andrei’s “clothing line”, which can be found in the juniors section of Tesco shortly:
