Andrey Arshavin admits he is shocked by how badly the English cope with snow.[LNB]The Arsenal striker insists he never experienced a football match being postponed in Russia and said life would shut down for six months in his homeland if his compatriots coped in the same way.[LNB]Arshavin was having an afternoon nap before the Bolton match earlier this month, only to be told the game was off.[LNB] Snow reason to stop: Workers outside Arsenal's Emirates Stadium[LNB]'I was asleep in a hotel, then phone rang,' he explained. 'I am told that I must go to the Emirates only in order to pick up my car from the stadium.[LNB]'Frankly, it is surprising for me. In Russia we played sometimes in more extreme conditions, but the game was never cancelled.[LNB]'I couldn't even conceive that in England a match would be postponed!'[LNB]The 28-year-old is amused by how obsessed his neighbours are with the weather, but he admitted the cold snap had its benefits.[LNB]Arshavin used his extra time off to watch the West End musical Chicago go on a family visit to Cirque de Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall with wife Yulia and their two children.[LNB] On song: Arshavin and Arsenal are in fine form as they chase the title[LNB]'As for snowfall in England? It's a little unusual to see the British, for which the snow was a big problem,' he said. 'It is all they have been talking about. [LNB]'They have great difficulties driving, because snow tires aren't for sale on the island.[LNB]'Every hour on the TV were special news reports about the amount of snowfall and conditions on the roads.[LNB]'On the other hand, I liked to see the snow falling at night, because I was sure that in the morning I could get behind the wheel without coming across any traffic jams![LNB]'I told the British that if this happened in Russia - and we had the same reaction - he life of Russians would be wiped out for six months.[LNB]'Perhaps they wonder how we live and work when the temperature dips well below minus 20.'[LNB] Bolton 0 Arsenal 2: Fran Merida and Cesc Fabregas ruin Owen Coyle's homecomingArsenal boss Wenger demands tighter rules on club ownership Piers Morgan: Thierry Henry's the Arsenal old boy Arsene Wenger really needs[LNB] [LNB]
