No England for me, give me Russia anyday!

"I'm moving to Russia" - Roman Pavlyuchenko

Tottenham's Roman Pavlyuchenko is the latest in a long line of Russian footballing emigres to pitch up in England, only to realise the true beauty and splendour of what they left behind. The typical English response, as witnessed on page 54 of today's Sun, is to sneer at these foreign whiners who don't like spotted dick and custard.

But really, can they all be wrong? Perhaps England is a dump compared to modern-day Russia, with its Action Man leaders, its squillionaire oligarchs and its stunning tennis nymphs.
Here's what Pavlyuchenko had to say about life in London: "I don't like English dishes. At the Spurs training ground, the food is modest. All they have there is a simple canteen."
Then asked which country has the more attractive women, Pavlyuchenko adds: "Russia, of course - there can't be any comparison."

I have never been to London myself so I don't think I would be qualified to comment on this one :) Is it as bad as Vidic, Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko make it out to be?

I wanna hear from people who have lived or visited England in the last 5 years. What was your experience like?
