Taunts will only drive Robbo on


By Jesse Johnstone

It’s been reported that Russia’s international captain, Andrei Arshavin, has labelled England’s and Tottenham’s number one keeper, “the weakest link”.

What was Arshavin thinking when he made that statement? It’s strange that many professional footballers and managers alike seem to think that it will be of some benefit if they air their views against the opposition?

McClaren need only show the article to Robinson for the desired effect. I am sure Robbo will be evermore driven for the match at Wembley against Russia.
