Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists his words are being twisted by the media.

Wenger was quoted on Sunday after their 2-0 defeat to title rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, insisting his side were the better team.

But the Frenchman told Sky Sports today: "I just would like to say that I was full of praise and compliments for Chelsea.

"I find it unfair from the press that you take one word from my press conference and turn it in a kind of hope [of a big story], you did that at Aston Villa, you did that at Chelsea.

"Every time if you look at the intent of the press conference it is positive to the opposition, if you want I can say nothing.

"I am in England long enough to know that if the team wins you can say what you want, it is my job to take a distance from that but I analyse it in a cold way and look at what is right and wrong."
