Andrey Arshavin, “After each kick I am feeling pain but if I can play, I will”
Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin revealed referees do not protect players in the English Premiership the way they should, preferring to let the game go quicker for the entertainment, which is not always the best decision to take.
The Russian, who has been playing through injury for the last month, is quoted as saying by the Mail:
The referees here do not whistle when someone just pushes you a little bit – it’s seen as nothing, you must play on.
Of course that makes the game quicker, but for me it’s not always great
With my knock at the moment I’m trying my best and after each kick I am feeling pain, but I still train every day. I’ve had a few other injuries.
Basically it is simple. If I can play, I will.
The Russian was under fire after the Manchester United game for failing to turn provider in the first half, opting for selfish decisions. The Gunners will face Chelsea this weekend in their attempt to cut the gap at the top to three points.

Poor soul .. and you are also getting a kicking from your own fans. I for one admire what you can do on the ball. But you have to admit that Sunday was not your most effective as a team player. That said I hope that you will be fit enough to contribute to the course at the weekend.
Isn’t this like two weeks old?
No, days:

I feel sorry for Arshavin, because he is doing a favour (playing out of position) for AW and the board who have their hands stick to her behind scratching their “arses” instead of reaching to their pockets and present us with the cash to recruit…!!
We will pay the consequences and they won’t be positives…
Andrey is a true hero. I wish him all the best and hope he gets back in goalscoring and assisting form
))))) ANDREY FTW
That dirty word `rotation` seems to be to only way to fly these days with the amount of matches played and the injuries incurred. If Arshavin is carrying an injury, which is obviously affecting his game ,then we should be able to rest him and get him back to match fitness.
this guy is just useless.leave us pls..
what? he is not useless. he is the one player arsenal has that can carve chances and convert them on his own despite being out of position and injured and all. yes he’s been a little selfish the past 2 games but i don’t blame him. we always said we needed someone who was a little more selfish in front of goal and not pass, pass, pass when the goal is just there. he’s the guy. some arsenal fans are ridiculous.
oh pls just shut the f… up.
I love his spirit fighting, most of gunner very low, especially young players. Arsene wenger too soft to come up the kids and so they have nothing and want to be glamour life, see walcott. You must get stick and carrot, please AW, coz they need your strenght drives.
All yu need to do Arshavin is ,when yu ar in the box, look around b4 yu fire a shot,there could be someone jus waiting for yr pass to tap the ball in,simples.we could have score three times in the 1st 20minutes if yu had done that.
comeon..dont blame for being selfish..he did get a good run..besides he’s injured..but still playing..so hows that?
Andrey Arshavin is a fantastic player,one of the best players that we ever had, only Bergamb and Henry were better than he is. I dont care if he didnt pass that ball, i just want to see him doing at cheski what he did against man u. He gave more than 100% in the pitch. I gues how long are u gooners going to remember that “not given pass”, i cant belive how u all have forgoten that game when he scored 4 goals against Liverpool, for God sake how did u forget that goal at Liv.a goal that kept us in the tittle race?!!! If it wasnt for him,all of u would have been tolking for: next year for sure. Just like spuds.
never heard of liam brady have you son.
pls arshavin……….u can do it 4 us…….also try 2 put in sumtihn into wenger’s head!!1 ask him 2 bring world class players……….u nd cesc must never break our hearts by leaving the club………..u,cesc&rocisky are stars 4 us!!!!cant wait 4 persie 2 return!!!
I think sometimes its good to be selfish but when you know you are off the radar thn you shud pass. thatz the only reason we have scored more goals thn any other team. and thtz sumthng we forgt to do in last few games and thtz y we dint score many goals. he is one of the biggest assets of this club.
Some of us gooners act like Arsh is doing us a favor.I belive he is paid for what he does.Soccer is a team game so selfishness is unacceptable.He needs to be read the riot act either play with the team or go on sale.
He owes us a good game on the basis that he has been poor all season.I have all but one of arsenals games and only once would i have scored him over 6 out of 10.Compared to last season that is extremely poor but unfortunately we keep playing him whilst he is injured because we are struggling for fit forwards.
We are going to win on sunday period-2-0 to our team-A.W.and the boys know what is required of them
Denilson must be dropped and shipped to flamengo in the summer. The boy is not just good at all. I feel so ashamed watching him every week,they say he’s young ,that’s not a good enough excuse for we have several younger players in the league pulling their weight.Trust me,without Denilson we have a good chance to win the title.
He is one among a few in the arsenal side that is worthy wearing the red shirt. i can only wish a quick recovery.
