By CARL ELDRIDGE Andre Arshavin is slowly getting used to the fan culture here in England and even had a little help from Theo Walcott to bring him up to speed during the game against Blackpool.
The Russian winger, who scored from the spot in the 6-0 demolition of the ten-man Tangerines at the home of football, was spotted chatting with Theo and thanks to Arshavin's personal website we have the answer to the topic of debate.
The pair were discussing the away supporters virtually non-stop support for Ian Holloway's men and AA says he was impressed with their humour and loyal backing for their team.
He said: "Yes, they are good fellows who supported their team. They didn’t stop doing it even when the score was 0-5. Theo told me: Andrey, do you hear what they are singing about? I asked him to clarify.
"It turned out that they were singing that the score was 0 - 5, but they will win 6-5. That was funny. I like it when people have a sense of humor when supporting their clubs."
AA was further educated in our terrace culture when a friend went to the opening game of the season at Anfield where, of course, we picked up a 1-1 draw and a point thanks to their clown of a keeper.
He explains: "My friend was at the match against Liverpool. He said that the fans were hurling insults at each other for the entire match but after the game they left the stadium together and went to London in the same train. There was not a single clash. It was surprising for him."
And for me, I have to say. Twasn't always the case. COYG.
