Part-time left-back, full-time striker Andre Santos has again spoken about the way he’s coping with life in England and revealed that Mikel Arteta has played a fundamental part in helping him settle in London.
Having signed on the same day as the former Everton man, the Brazilian highlighted that the similarities between Spanish and Portuguese languages have helped them bond, although the cuddly maverick also made clear he enjoyed the company of several of Wenger’s first team squad away from the training ground..all of the gays, if you will.
“I get on well with every single one of the players, I treat and respect everyone equally and vice versa,” Santos told Arsenal Player with a beaming smile as he hummed the tune to well-known bossa nova song ‘The Girl from Ipanema.”
“Mikel Arteta is Spanish and our languages are quite similar so he is helping me the most.
“He is always giving me instructions about the Premier League. He played for Everton for a long time and arrived at Arsenal at the same time as I did so he helped me settle.
“We’re always messing around in the changing room, on the pitch during the warm up; he’s always saying something to make me laugh or calling me nicknames but it’s always good spirited with no harm. We work together every day and need these moments of distraction.
“This link with the club is very important, us players always go out for dinner and social events together.”
“I’m always doing something with Thomas Vermaelen, Bacary Sagna, Robin van Persie, Mikel, Yossi Benayoun, Ignasi Miquel and others. This link between us off the pitch is very strong and it benefits the team on the pitch.”
Amazingly, at no point in the interview did Santos mention anything about the fact he has been unable to score from overhead kicks or that the weather is utter pony.
We should do a caption competition for the photo, It’s class!
It’s been done to death but…. “This is Sparta!”
ARSENAL ARE SHIT SO IS THIS IDIOT
I REMEMBR WHEN HE CAME TO THE MIGHTY WHITE HART LANE TO FACE THE MIGHTY TOTENHAM WHEN WE BEAT YOU LYK ALWAYS, AND ANDREY SANTOS WAS RIPPPED A PPART BUY OUR SELF-MADE WINGAS LIKE BALE AND ADEBAYOR
THEN THE SPURS RUN MARCHING IN! THEN THE SPURS RUN MUCHING IN1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how noone has replied to this.
I almost want to like the Mighty Tittenham Hotspurt (sic) post. It goes to prove so much we’ve been saying about them is true.
5-2 puta mind the gap bitches suck on these nuts
that is all
What does ‘MIGTY’ mean?
That Spud is such a Guy !
Top Gay.
“as he hummed the tune to well-known bossa nova song ‘The Girl from Ipanema.””
LOL
I would like to formally request a daily reference to *that tweet* on this site, it makes me laugh aloud every single time.
Kisses…
He just so cuddly…
Arsenal store to stock XL Andre Santos plush in time for Xmas.
hahaha
I luv dis gay-SANTOS
He spells how he wants
He spells how he waaaaants
Andre Santos
He spells how he wants
Hope he gets some more game time, just love his attacking display.
Lets hope he repeats it against Chelsea this weekend and gets another goal while making sure to play defense as well.
Is it possible to hum whilst grinning? technically? I’ll get me coat
Is he actually the nicest man in the whole world? I’m enjoying having quite a few players who actually seem like they are enjoying themselves at our club for a change. Szcz, jack, andre, sagna, van persie and obviously frimpong are to name a few
I agree they all seem really ‘up for it’, so to speak, and look like they are all great mates too.
Great to see that in a team.
Having a gay old time.
Part-time left back, full-time bad-ass.
He’s the only left back in the world that nut mega a player at least once every game! Fucking hero!
Gotta love Santos. He’s class, is excellent going forward and on top of that, he seems to be a genuinely good gay!
It’s good to see that Santos is settling in with the gays.
He is the sort of guy who cheers everyone up in the dressing room after a bad day. Rare to find optimistic footballers, but likes of him are often overlooked in favour of charismatic footballers (e.g. the Sagnas and van Persies).
In that photo he looks like he’s about to rip Robin’s heart out and eat it.
Yes ha ha Santos once wrote gays instead of guys…don’t you think its getting a bit old now arseblog? And slightly homophobic maybe?
What is homophobic about it? It’s not insulting anyone at all. It’s an affectionate joke. We all love the Santos! Read the posts.
Homophobic how? We all thought it was endearing. Honestly, if he were gay, we’d still all love the cuddly maverick.
You are tired with gay jokes , wait till Coquelin plays a match , You’ll find out not only Arseblog is homophobic but Coqophobic too
Que?
Dick Clark died today.
Did Ramsey score a goal I didn’t know about?
No, that would be breaking news.
The only goal ramsey’s scoring is between his wags’ leg otherwise for the real goal we all are familiar with. Nah! Don’t think so.
so nice to see you have great team spirit where none are bad apple .if the club make an effort this summer we have a fantastic base to build a great team for next season
I, in my folly, will suggest Gibbs comes back to left full back, and Santos be given the Arteta role. He may excel there, methink.
If hes given the arteta role, he’ll be wandering somewhere between van persie and the opposition goalkeeper
errr, migty spud, im confused my window licking friend. Adebayour being a “self made winga” ( winga?? gess dat street aaiiiggghhhttt ) please explain as i thought he was only good at upsetting teammates, talking VERY fast, and counting money. Also Gareth ” he looks like a chimp ” Bale has only 2 talents, one is looking like a primate, the other is “flying” ( though untouched) in the penalty box. cant remember santos getting skinned by your “self made Winga’s” when you channel 5 mugs got handed your arses at our place. and last of all, is ” Muching… Read more »
oh, and Santos has fitted in beautifully, as you can see in the picture, he is definitely one of the gays!!
I always said Arsenal were nothing but a bunch of pansies.
Please bring back Special 1 TV !!! I would love this gay to be on the show.
