WEALTHY footie ace Andrey Arshavin saves McDonald’s discount vouchers to “treat” his family to cheap grub, it emerged yesterday.
The £80,000-a-week Arsenal forward regularly snubs trendy celeb hotspots such as The Ivy.
Instead, the Russian star scrimps together £1.99 meal deal tokens when he takes his missus and their three kids to their local McDonald’s in London’s posh Hampstead.
One stunned worker said: “None of us can believe it when we see Andrey in here with his family.
“He’s a regular, so collects the £1.99 meal deal vouchers to cut down on the total when they’re in. He could easily afford to eat anywhere in town.
“But he says he loves the taste of our food and recognises it’s cheap for a full family.” The source added Andrey, 31, does his best to keep the Gunners’ nutritionist happy by opting for the “healthier” Filet-O-Fish.
But it’s almost 400 calories on its own and nearly 1,000 calories when he adds his fries and drink.
The vouchers are handed out in the street and at the eaterie.
Andrey was one of the Gunners’ most expensive signings at more than £15million from Zenit St Petersburg in 2009.
He was named on the bench for yesterday’s 3-3 home draw with Fulham.

Is restoring my faith in football with his down to earth ways
Filet O Fish burgers are awesome :bow:
Cheap ass **** lol.
80K a week for a fast food junkie. People think Balotelli is a rebel but Arshavin is way down the road and leaves him in his dust. Not surprised he doesn't smoke on the pitch in a football sense, but I'm very surprised he doesn't actually smoke on the pitch.
Why is he considered lazy?
Cos he doesnt defend?
Hes not a defender....
He runs his arse off whenever he comes on to no avail cos no other **** we have is at his level and has the vision to find him. Sure hes not the best defensively but im not going to join the ranks of the clueless and call him shit cos of it
charlie owns ach again :haha:
whats that? 7-5 to charlie? after ach took a 4-0 lead as well :haha:
Um ok :blink:

He's gone
A shame. Hardly given a chance yet more talented than most of the cloggers playing for us atm.
Thank you Andreiy and god speed
Such a waste of money.
We'll always have Anfield. Twice.
Nah
Was awesome when he came. Then got in to double figures goals wise in the next 2 seasons playing out of position. Also assisted quite a few. Tried to make things happen, arguably our most creative player and didn't agree with the pass pass pass, bore the fuck out of everyone, lose the ball, concede, pass pass pass bs that we play hence he was frozen out

The GW myth of Arshavin being lazy being ripped apart from their own idol
GW is the only place I have ever heard of Arshavin being referred to as 'lazy'.
A Google search of 'Arshavin lazy' will confirm this.
Regardless, I'd rather believe someone who watches him every day than bandwagon jumpers
Well no but typical wumming from you again :rolleyes:
It's called having a mind of your own rather than being a sheep and following others.
If Arshavin was an isolated case, then I'd put it down to the player and nothing to do with our camp. But we have a load of other players frozen out of the squad an lacking confidence and form. I'm worried about the summer. On the one hand I want us to spend big but I'm also worried we'll waste money again. Maybe Wenger is better off with low key players.
I agree with you insofar as fearing what will be made of limited resources. We can afford to spend big, but can ill afford to waste big.
I'd rather a last season of deja vu, than to have a potential new manager come in during 2014/15 with hands tied managing a Wenger side with little scope to build his own team.
But I do think Arshavin is an eccentric whose heart hasn't been in it for years.
Was talking about that match at work recently with a Liverpool fan.
He said that's the match that cost them the league.
Agree?
Unless he wins the league next season, or he at least closes the point gap on the mancs to a competitve level, then I can't see that happening.
He's won nothing in years and still got new contracts. Then there's the glowing compliments the board always pay him, I don't think it's too far fetched for him to be offered a new contract when the time comes, they've said many times before it's down to him if he wants to stay on, they'll be very happy for him to stay onboard as they have 100% trust in him.
Nah he was worth it for getting us into the top four that season when it looked well gone to O'Neill (lol) Villa side.
Considering we're meant to earn 40 million for just simply entering the CL it was worth the investment in the end.
Now I hope the likes of Denilson, Bendtner, Park, Djourou, Squillachi, Chamakh and the other leeches follow suit.
The board don't seem to recognise his failings which is the important point here. They don't give a toss what the fans think and as long as the stadium is full have no motivation to change anything, sentiment is one thing but if it doesn't translate to lost ticket sales or income it has no relevance to our board.
