Wenger: Arsenal play fair

Arsene Wenger has hit back at his club's critics, and insisted that his side are one of the more fairer teams in the Premiership. The Gunners are top of the fair play league, and Wenger is disappointed after seeing an aggressive approach from Stoke City in their Premiership encounter.

He said: "You can look at the fair play table. Who is top? Arsenal Football Club. We have no lessons to learn from anyone on that front. Look at the team that makes less fouls - it is Arsenal Football Club.

"Who gets the more yellow cards after four or five fouls? Arsenal Football Club. Some teams get their first yellow card after 15 fouls. I cannot read the (rule) book or something is wrong.

"I'm responsible for the behaviour of Arsenal and we are top. I do not make that table. Instead of having a go at us, people should look somewhere else."
