Arsenal fans were shocked this morning at suggestions by The Sun newspaper that Andre Santos had been involved in a 130mph chase with police.

While breaking the speed limit is fairly normal, and not just for footballers (right folks? You’ve all done it!), being involved in something like that seemed totally out of character for the cuddly maverick.

Today, the world’s most attacking left back revealed that The Sun – shock horror! – had somewhat exaggerated events, and thanks to our friends at Arsenal Brasil we can read what he said:

I was going to work, to training. It was about 8:30/9am. I was driving on the motorway and I was a bit over the speed limit because I was running a little late. As soon as I saw the police I pulled over. They asked for my papers and I respectfully obliged, knowing they were only doing their job. I had my passport and drivers license with me, and I’m allowed to drive with my [foreign] license for a year.

They told me I was going to fast, and I ended up missing training. As soon as I arrived I explained everything to the club and Arsenal offered all assistance possible. I have to be in court in September when I’ll present all my papers, i.e, passport, local and foreign driving license. I was going too fast but not as fast as The Sun has reported

So there you go. All seems right with the world again, and let’s hope Andre leaves earlier for training in future.

Nakon odlaska kapetana RvP nikad više navijača Topnika na forumu.

Je li dovedena zamjena za Songa, vidin Sahina u postavi je li to 100% gotov posao?

Pa sve upućuje na to, čeka se službena potvrda.

Što se zamjene za Songa tiče, njegovim odlaskom ponovno se aktualizirao M´Villa no mislim da je to upitno. Već sam prije rekao, Wenger već dugo nije igrao s "pravim" zadnjim veznim, uostalom, Song to nije igrao prošle sezone tako da neće forsirati M´Villin dolazak.

Ovi vjerovatno žele pokušati izmusti što više para a Arsene normalno upravo suprotno. Sve nekako vodi prema posljednjim satima prijelaznog roka.

Breaking injury news: Woijcech Szczesny is doubtful for Sunday's clash with Stoke. Last minute decision will be made on him.
