Andre Santos nicked after 130 mph police chase!

[Cockerill's chin]

If true, the man could have easily have wrecked lives. Driving 130 mph on a Saturday morning, what a twat.

[the moog]

given the chance and the right motor many would like to get to that speed. but once the old bill have nabbed you then pull over. but people to get all moralistic is quite sad.

[supergeorgegraham]

Prison is the only option. OK Wenger you need to get a new left back. Santos was toss anyway.

Just remember, before we all jump on him, that our Captain once ploughed a car into someones wall pissed.

I don't get the Santos hate tbh, the guy had a pretty decent first season. This is stupid, but as someone mentioned, lets wait until we hear the whole story, rather than a shock Sun headline.

[BournemouthRED]

Am I the only person who rates santos?

Having said that, I hope he gets the correct punishment the same as we would. Footballers seem to get away with anything these days! Arsenal player or not, they are not above the law

This, I would've started him on Saturday, I guess this supposed event on Friday could've been the reason he didn't.

I rate him highly - he is the best left back at the club
why are people having a go at him? I can't believe any proper supporter would turn on an Arsenal player like this.

and he was rightly punished for it the same as Santos should be

No doubt that the guy was stupid but I doubt the reaction would be as harsh amongst Gooners if it was tv5 that committed the offence. Personally I believe that instead of being ostracised in the dressing room as quartz suggests, this will be a huge source of banter amongst his team-mates and he will get the piss taken out of him for a long while over this.

For the record I dont see him being sold, I dont see wenger buying another left full and I certainly cannot see wenger spending 15m on a full back as he wouldnt see value for money in such a deal

Exactly. Footballers very seldomly take the moral high ground! He will have the piss ripped out of him for weeks.

Still, to me, he is a reckless prick that could have destroyed lives.

And he's also an idiot that was speeding in a car too!

Still, was it reckless? (The speeding, I mean. Not the defending, that was reckless, no question )

That's why I said I'd want to know the whole story first. For example, was it at 3:30am on a well lit straight section of the motorway where no one's around? Or was it past a school for blind kids who are attracted to loud exhausts?

ok, that's a little extreme.

[donaldo]

I can't see what the problem is, he just drove a bit faster that's all.
it is hardly in the John Terry, Joey Barton league is it?

If he had hit another car and killed the passengers would you see what the problem was? He failed stop for a reason.Maybe he was taking his mate "Charlie" to the airport

[rodders999]

In an online gooner world exclusive I can reveal what the tubbby Brazilian's defence will be -

"Mr. Sanots was balancing the KFC family bucket between his knees when it slipped and got wedged on the accelerator pedal m'lud"

this story does not add up I'm afraid.

when the Sun uses the word "allegedly" you know something is not quite right.
looks like it is pick on Arsenal week again for them.

[Bradywasking]

Maybe like Arsenal he is having a problem with his handbrake..

[Bradywasking]

In a separate incident Harry Redknapp failed to stop as there wee no Sky cameras there.
