ONTD FOOTBALL

OH and also, some backstage gossip from the fundraising day... I know some of you know all this but some dont so this is for them ;)

-I taught Cesc a new word as he was very hot on the day of filming – ‘Baking’. We were standing in the sun and he was melting to be honest, so I asked him ‘are you baking in that?’ to which he said ‘Baking? what does this mean?’. I go ‘ well it means like you’re really really hot…’ so he replies ‘Oh yes! I am really really baking!’
So I can take credit for improving his english vocabulary... I hope he may use it in an interview one day!
-Cesc said he needed to go to the hairdressers... He didn't have much hair to start with so...
-The man who directed the advert has also directed the morrisons adverts, as well as the Cadburys one with the druming gorrilla.
-The dog in the film was also called Theo and his name in welsh meant 'three lions' - an odd coincidence.
-Yeah, apparently they didn't get to pick the costumes...apart from Andrey, who had no clue what they were asking him to agree to until they showed him the storyboard (a booklet with a sequence of events drawn in it), who then fell about laughing wanted to be in it for sure, and really wanted to be the shark ;) so now, whenever I see him on the TV now I say 'It's Arshavin Shark!'
-Arshavin does sound like the meerkat off the 'compare the market' adds if you've seen them.
-the lads arrived and walked round te side of the building, and everyone started clapping like OMG xD then he walked straight over to where I was standing, handed me my autograph book (I had handed it over a few months before to get it signed by the team... its a long story) and he said 'Hey Paula, here's your autograph book back sorry it took so long. Most of the players have signed it, I hope you like it!' and that was when I died of happiness.
-or maybe it was when Cesc was very european and kissed me on both cheeks when we said goodbye...? ;)
