Arsenal forward Andrey Arshavin may have made a stunning
impact on the pitch in the Premier League, but he is also causing
quite a stir off it as well.
The diminutive Russian has made an explosive start to his career
in English football - netting six goals in 11 league outings,
including four against Liverpool at Anfield.
However, the £15 million signing from Zenit St Petersburg may
now have to feel the wrath of women worldwide, after launching two
seperate stinging attacks on the driving skills of the female
sex.
“If I had it in my power to introduce a ban on women driving
cars and to withdraw all their licences, I would do it without
thinking twice," he told the Russian media.
"In my opinion a woman and a man are two absolutely different
creatures.”
And if those comments did not quite hammer home his point
regarding female motorists, the Gunners' playmaker was recently
offered the opportunity to retract his initial comments.
An opportunity he turned down...
"I would never give driving lessons to women," he said in the
Daily Mail.
"We need to build new roads for them. Why? Because you never
know what to expect from a woman on the road.
"If you see a car behaving weirdly, swerving and doing strange
things, before you see the driver you know it is a woman. It is
always a woman."
