played with before makes it even that much more interes

TSN.ca presents its latest weekly power rankings for the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League season. Rankings were weighted evenly between separate lists made by TSN Radio host and soccer analyst Gareth Wheeler as well as TSN.cas soccer editors. 1. Arsenal (Last Week-1) Mesut Ozil opened the scoring for the Gunners but they only held the lead for four minutes as they drew Everton 1-1 at Emirates Stadium. Olivier Giroud came a post away from giving the Gunners all the points. Arsenal are still top of the table, five points clear of both Liverpool and Chelsea. 2. Manchester City (LW-2) While Sergio Agueros scoring touch continued so did Citys poor road form as they were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw with Southampton. After Agueros strike in the 10th minute, City were wasteful with chance after chance to double the lead before they conceded the equalizer before the half. Aleksandar Kolarov and Aguero were the two guiltiest of not getting that second goal. 3. Liverpool (LW-4) In what was eventually ruled a two goal performance, Luis Suarez once again led Liverpool to a huge victory, 4-1 over West Ham. After scoring his teams third goal in the 81st minute, Suarez fired a ball that deflected off West Ham defender Joey OBrien and into the net. Originally credited as an own goal, the dubious goals panel decided to award the 84th minute marker as a second for Suarez bringing his season total to 15. 4. Chelsea (LW-3) Two Andre Schurrle goals were not enough as Chelsea fell 3-2 to Stoke City. After opening the scoring in the ninth minute, Schurrle pulled his team even in the 53rd, just three minutes after they had fallen behind for the first time in the contest. Chelsea pressed with the game tied and in the short time they had after falling behind, but were not able to find a third goal to leave with a point. 5. Everton (LW-5) Gerard Deulofeu scored in the 84th minute as Everton collected a well-earned point on the road against Arsenal. The Toffees are on a roll after beating Manchester United and collecting a point against the Gunners, they are fifth in the table one point behind Manchester City for fourth. 6. Newcastle United (LW-9) Yohan Cabaye scored the difference maker as Newcastle picked up a 1-0 victory over Manchester United. Tim Krul picked up the clean sheet for the Magpies, who are one point out of the European places and only two points from a spot in the coveted top four. 7. Tottenham (LW-6) After falling behind, Spurs took control of a 2-1 victory over Sunderland. With the help of an opponents own goal, Tottenham won their second straight game as Paulinho also found the mark for the North London side. Jermain Defoe hit the post twice and fired wide with another chance so the game could have been out of sight earlier. 8. Southampton (LW-8) Dani Osvaldo scored one of the goals of the season and the Saints held off a late charge to draw Manchester City 1-1. Osvaldo beat City captain Vincent Kompany and defender Pablo Zabaleta before firing a strike into the top corner of the net just before halftime. While City pressed for a go ahead marker Southampton was with them step for step and in the end got a deserved point out of the contest. 9. Manchester United (LW-7) With Wayne Rooney, who has been their best player this season suspended due to yellow card accumulation, United fell 1-0 to Newcastle to further jeopardize their title defence. The Champions lost back to back home contests for the first time since 2002. They have also picked up only two points from their last four games. 10. Swansea City (LW-10) Chico Flores scored in the 60th minute to rescue a point for Swansea at home against Hull City. After falling behind after nine minutes of play, the Swans worked their way back into the game and were rewarded with a goal and a point. They also welcomed Michu back into the lineup to hopefully add a spark to their offence going forward. 11. Hull City (LW-12) Danny Graham scored in the ninth minute but it wasnt enough as they drew Swansea 1-1. Graham, a former Swansea man, would enjoy the goal on his return but could not lead his team to the victory. In the end both teams deserved a point from this match. 12. Aston Villa (LW-11) Ten terrible minutes were enough for Villa to fall 2-0 at the hands of Fulham. Gabriel Agbonlahor wasted an early chance for Villa who were pretty even against Fulham, but for the stretch that saw them give up two goals and the game. 13. Stoke City (LW-15) Late Substitute Oussama Assaidi fired home a 90th minute winner to help Stoke City stun Chelsea 3-2. After falling behind in the ninth minute, the Potters battle back to take a 2-1 lead only to see Chelsea pull level once again. Stoke picked up their first league win against Chelsea since 1975 in a very entertaining contest. 14. West Bromwich Albion (LW-13) While the stats say West Brom should have cruised to victory, Norwich found the net twice as the Baggies fell 2-0. Stephane Sessegnon and Shane Long were both wasteful with chances to put their team on the board and in front of their home fans, extended a stretch of only one win in their last nine contests. 15. Cardiff City (LW-14) Though they looked good at times, Cardiff was not able to find a marker as they fell 2-0 to Crystal Palace. Fraizer Campbell almost put the Welsh side ahead in the opening minutes, but was not able to convert. Palace would go on to create the chances that led to the difference in the contest. 16. Norwich City (LW-16) Gary Hooper and Leroy Fer were both on target as Norwich knocked off West Brom 2-0 at The Hawthorns. The Canaries were coming off Luis Suarez masterpiece and showed a good effort to get back into the win column. John Ruddy picked up the clean sheet for Norwich. 17. West Ham United (LW-17) While the score stayed level for almost the entire first half, West Ham was never a threat in a 4-1 loss to Liverpool. A Martin Skrtel own goal accounted for their only scoring in a game where they also produced an own goal courtesy of Guy Demel. Joey OBriens own goal was eventually credited as a second for Luis Suarez. 18. Crystal Palace (LW-19) Tony Pulis led his new Crystal Palace side to a second victory, this time 2-0 over Cardiff City as they continue to fight against relegation. Cameron Jerome and Marouane Chamakh both scored for Palace, who now find themselves in the relegation zone on goal differential alone. 19. Fulham (LW-20) A Dimitar Berbatov penalty and a Steve Sidwell strike were enough to give Fulham a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. The two goals, scored in a nine minute span, put the game out of reach for the Cottagers who need to keep collecting these points as they find themselves firmly in the relegation battle. 20. Sunderland (LW-18) Their fifth own goal of the season condemned Sunderland to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham. Adam Johnson opened the scoring for the Black Cats, who sit at the bottom of the table, but after Paulinho leveled the score, John OShea put the ball past his keeper for what would be the deciding marker. Sebastian Rode Dortmund Jersey . The Irish golfer, whose father Patrick died from cancer, says he underwent surgery for sun spots. The 42-year-old Harrington told Irish radio station Today FM: "Ive had a number of skin cancers removed off my face. Jacob Bruun Larsen Dortmund Jersey .Y. -- AJ Allmendingers journey is almost complete. http://www.footballdortmundpro.com/Kids-Marwin-Hitz-Jersey/ . Louis, MO (SportsNetwork. Borussia Dortmund Jerseys . -- Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer will be out three to six weeks with a stress fracture of the third finger of his right hand. Julian Weigl Dortmund Jersey . The 23-year-old McNabb was an All-Star with the American Hockey Leagues Rochester Americans this season, posting seven goals and 22 assists in 38 games. In 12 games with the Sabres this season, McNabb has accumulated six penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating. He has scored one goal and seven assists in 37 career games with the Sabres, who originally selected him in the third round (66th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.Kansas City fans have waited 29 years for this. And the Royals arent disappointing them. The Royals try again to move one step closer to their first World Series appearance since 1985 on Tuesday when the American League Championship Series shifts to Kauffman Stadium for Game 3 against the Baltimore Orioles. This game was supposed to be played on Monday, but rain in the area caused a postponement. Kansas City won the first two games in Baltimore, including its major league record fourth playoff game in extra innings in Game 1 on Friday, to take a commanding lead in this series. Since the best-of-seven format began back in 1985, there have been 11 teams to win the first two games of an ALCS on the road. All of them have gone on to the World Series. History may not be on Baltimores side, but its not intimidated. Youve got to win four games, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Youve got to keep from losing three. And thats obviously oversimplifying it. But you look at teams that compete during the course of the season, they compete on the road, too. Kansas City, a team that hit the fewest amount of home runs (95) during the season, has found its power stroke in October. After smacking four in their first four games of the playoffs, the Royals have hit four more home runs against the Orioles. Weve won ballgames a ton of different ways. We can pitch and play some defense, or we can go out and score some runs, said Mike Moustakas, who homered in Saturdays, 6-4, Game 2 win and has four home runs this postseason. If we need it, we can drag, we can hit and run, we can do all those things and push a couple runs across. Thats just a tribute to everyone in this clubhouse and how hard weve worked. Moustakas tied Willie Mays Aikens 1980 franchise record for homers in a single postseason. Moustakas is also the first No. 9 hitter to homer in four different games in a single postseason and has tied Adam Kennedy and Jason Varitek for the most homers by a No. 9 hitter in postseason history. Counting 1985, the Royals have won nine straight postseason games, including six this year. They also havent trailed in any of the first 19 innings in this series. I know you get tired of hearing it, but I just stay focused on today, manager Ned Yost said on Saturday. And again, when you start this series playing against a ballclub of this caliber,, I think when you go into a series like this, if you could go home 1-1, youre going to be really, really happy.dddddddddddd If you can go home 2-0, thats as good as it gets. Going home 2-0 with our crowd for the next three days is going to be exciting. It should be a wild environment inside Kauffman Stadium, as Jeremy Guthrie takes the hill in his first postseason appearance. Its also the first time hes pitched since Sept. 26. Ive never had this much time between starts aside from being on the DL, Guthrie said, so I dont view it one way or another. I was able to throw a simulated game, which at least gave me the opportunity to go out there and face hitters. Guthrie, who pitched for Baltimore from 2007-11, won his final three starts of the year and finished the season 13-11 with a 4.13 ERA. He also posted his best strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.53) since his first year in Baltimore, while adding his best WHIP (1.30) since 2010 and topped 200 innings for the fifth time in six years (202 2/3). To be in the playoffs with Kansas City is very exciting, Guthrie said. And then to come back and play against a team that I played with before makes it even that much more interesting and ironic, I think. Guthrie is 2-1 in four starts versus his former team with a 2.67 ERA. Baltimore, meanwhile, will counter with lefty Wei-Yin Chen, who won 16 games during the regular season, but was roughed up by the Detroit Tigers in his lone ALDS start. Chen couldnt get out of the fourth inning in that one, as he was hammered for five runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings. The Orioles, of course, rallied and he did not get a decision. Well, we need a big start out of him, thats obvious, said Orioles outfielder Adam Jones. We have to do what we have to do as an offense. We know what were going to get out of Chen. Hes going to be aggressive. We have to play good defense and score some runs. Chen is 1-1 with a 4.17 ERA in six starts against the Royals, but has pitched to a 2.84 ERA in two starts at Kauffman. For me, I want to keep it simple, said Chen. It doesnt matter to me if were ahead or behind. For me, my job is to go out and pitch a good game. It doesnt change whether its 0-2 or 2-0, I just want to go out and pitch a good game. The Royals won four of seven from the Orioles during the regular season, outscoring Baltimore 26-18. ' ' '
