Stoke City may not be the greatest team in the world, but at least Tony Pulis could beat Arsene Wenger in a fight
That's the trouble when there's no game on at the weekend. Too much time to think. The devil finds work for minds not absorbed with the selection dilemmas of an impending Stoke City match, and it's amazing how much room there is for rubbish in your brain when you stop brooding about football.
The stalwarts of sex and food are always there, of course. As a bloke (and I would imagine as a woman as well, but I couldn't guarantee it) these are pre-programmed and completely unavoidable from the age of ten until death - possibly even beyond that, but let's not get into that particular theological minefield.

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?
