TSN.ca presents its latest weekly power rankings for the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League staff. 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) The Gunners gained sole possession of the top of the Premier League standings with a 2-1 victory over Swansea City. Aaron Ramseys 62nd minute goal, which gave Arsenal a 2-0 lead, turned out to be the margin of victory. He was also responsible for setting up Serge Gnabrys opener, having a huge influence on this victory. 2. Tottenham (LW - 3) Gylfi Sigurdsson scored in the 19th minute to give Spurs the goal they deserved after dominating the first half against Chelsea. In the second half they would give up the equalizer in a 1-1 draw. Bad feelings between the coaches dominated the pre-game and bad tempers from the players were prevalent throughout the contest. In the end a point each was a fair result. 3. Chelsea (LW - 4) Chelsea lost Fernando Torres to a second yellow card in the 81st minute, but a John Terry second half marker gave them a 1-1 draw against Spurs. After surviving a first half where they were under the gun, Chelsea was much better in the second frame before they were reduced to 10-men. After the red they had to survive the final 10 minutes plus injury time for the point, which in the end they accomplished. 4. Liverpool (LW - 7) Luis Suarez finally made his Premier League debut for Liverpool this season after finishing his suspension and he picked up right where he left off. Two goals and an assist on Daniel Sturridges opening marker helped his side cruise to an easy 3-1 victory over Sunderland. Another strong performance for Liverpool who find themselves tied for second in the table. 5. Everton (LW - 5) Romelu Lukaku was on target twice to keep Everton the only unbeaten side in the Premier League, as they claimed a 3-2 victory over Newcastle. All three goals came in the opening half before Newcastle stormed back and made it a contest in the second frame. Ross Barkley had the other marker for Everton, who now sit in the top four of the table, one point ahead of Chelsea. 6. Manchester City (LW - 2) City applied most of the pressure during their game against Aston Villa but defensive mistakes cost them in the second half as they fell 3-2. Yaya Toure handed them a lead heading into the half and after they gave up an equalizer, Edin Dzeko restored the lead. After that, they gave up a free-kick goal from a dangerous area for the tie and a defensive blunder led to the winner. 7. Southampton (LW - 8) Continuing their strong play, Southampton cruised to a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. Two goals in two minutes from Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and Rickie Lambert sealed the deal for the Saints. Lamberts strike was the 200th league goal of his career. A third Southampton goal was called offside in what was already a one-sided affair. 8. Manchester United (LW - 6) There was no Old Trafford magic for United as they fell at home, 2-1 to West Brom. Robin van Persie returned from injury but was not able to spark the team as a second half substitute. Once again Wayne Rooney was the best player on the pitch, but his 57th minute marker was not enough for his side to pick up any points from this match. 9. Hull City (LW - 11) Two wins in a row for the Tigers as they gained a 1-0 victory over West Ham. After almost giving away the opening goal, Hull was awarded a 12th minute penalty that was converted by Robert Brady. From that point the Hammers had the better of the play but Hull played well enough to hold on to the lead. 10. Aston Villa (LW - 12) After surviving Manchester Citys pressure in the first half, Villa turned the tables and forced their opponents into some glaring defensive mistakes, capturing a 3-2 victory. After Leandro Bacuna leveled the score at 2-2 with a great free-kick, Andreas Weimann split the defence on a long ball and in all alone, beat keeper Joe Hart with the deciding marker. 11. West Bromwich Albion (LW - 15) Perseverance was the key to a huge road victory for West Brom, 2-1 over Manchester United. After seeing Morgan Amalfitanos opening goal responded to only three minutes later, Saido Berahino fired into the bottom corner to recapture the lead for his side. Albion then was forced to hang on for the victory and they did, despite United earning a few good late chances. 12. Cardiff City (LW -14) It was late, it was exciting and it has Cardiff knocking on the door of the top half of the table after they scored a late minute 2-1 victory over Fulham. Jordon Mutch fired home two minutes into second half injury time to claim a deserved victory for the road team. Steven Caulker had opened the scoring for 11th place Cardiff in the 12th minute. 13. Swansea City (LW - 9) The Swans had a great first half but were not able to keep that momentum going after the break as they fell 2-1 to Arsenal. Ben Davies slotted home a goal in the 81st to make it interesting but that was as close as they were able to get in front of their home supporters. 14. Norwich City (LW -17) Jonathan Howson was the difference in a 1-0 victory for Norwich City over Stoke City. In what was a tightly played game, Norwich was able to capitalize on a mistake from their opponents to capture the victory with the first half marker. Norwich keeper John Ruddy was sharp when he needed to be during this match. 15. Stoke City (LW - 10) Stoke had chances in their 1-0 loss to Norwich but were not able to find the marker to at least allow them to claim half the points at home. Manager Mark Hughes tried inserting Stephen Ireland and Jermaine Pennant into the action in the second half but they were not able to provide the spark for his side in the loss. 16. Newcastle United (LW - 13) Yohan Cabaye and Loic Remy scored in the second half but it wasnt enough to overcome Everton in a 3-2 road loss. The comeback unfortunately would be halted there as they were able to press but not find the equalizing marker to steal a point. 17. West Ham United (LW - 16) West Ham was not able to translate both a possession and shot advantage into a victory, as they fell 1-0 to Hull. James Tomkins had a great early chance that went wide and they would gain more runs on goal as they game went on, but could not finish any of their chances. 18. Fulham (LW - 18) Fulham slumped to a 2-1 loss to Cardiff City, increasing the pressure on manager Martin Jol as his team fell into the bottom three. Losing Scott Parker early in the game did not help their chances in this contest but as the game reached the 90th minute they looked like they might hang on for a point. Two minutes later they conceded the winner, their fourth loss of the season. 19. Crystal Palace (LW - 19) Another poor effort saw Palace slump to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton. After playing even for the first half, they were completely overrun in the second and surrendered two goals in two minutes that they never looked capable of recovering. In the end they didnt get one shot on goal during the contest. 20. Sunderland (LW - 20) The Black Cats really never had much of a chance in their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool. They were lively when they had possession of the ball and Emanuele Giaccherini pulled them within a goal in the 52nd minute. Interim manager Kevin Ball was not able to capture his first Premier League game in charge at Sunderland. Joe Haden Jersey . Heck, we might just miss the BCS. Maybe? It sort of worked out this season. Top-ranked Florida State (13-0) was the only team to get through the regular season unbeaten, and the Seminoles did it in dominating fashion. Custom Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys . Rasmussen didnt have a decision during his four appearances in May, when he gave up two hits and no runs in two innings. Toronto used five relievers while pulling off the second-biggest comeback in franchise history on Friday night, rallying from an 8-0 deficit to a 14-9 win. http://www.officialpittsburghsteelersfoo...jersey-womens.Y. -- That hangover from the Big East tournament is gone for Villanova. Kevin Greene Jersey . -- Terry Francona likened the atmosphere at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday to a playoff game in October. Arthur Moats Jersey . NORRIS COLE (Heat): Its funny, you watch a guy play and now really produce and it just jumps off the page at you - why? You put a young player with potential in a winning environment where there is veteran leadership, outstanding coaching and management and a way that things are done and its a wonderful environment for growth, improvement in a climate of constant accountability and expectation of achievement/production.Discussing his Green Bay Packers victory over the Atlanta Falcons on a snowy night at Lambeau Field this week, coach Mike McCarthy uttered the sort of platitude that certainly sounds true.Winning in December is important, McCarthy said, and winning in December is difficult.Actually, a look at recent history shows the first part is not necessarily the case — especially if the ultimate goal is the Super Bowl. The idea that a strong regular-season finish is a prerequisite for an NFL championship turns out to be one of the myths and misconceptions about the last month of the year.Only once in the last nine years has a team with a better post-Dec. 1 regular-season record than its Super Bowl opponent won the title. And three times in that span, a team with a losing record down the stretch wound up taking home the trophy: Baltimore was 1-4 after Dec. 1, 2012; New Orleans was 2-3 heading into the playoffs three years earlier; Indianapolis was 2-3 three years before that. Each of those champs beat a Super Bowl foe that had a winning record over its final five regular-season games.Theres also a deep assumption that cold-weather teams dominate in the late season and playoffs.The weather definitely plays a part in football games late in the year, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon said. I dont think theres a player alive that loves to play in cold weather, but you can get used to it.The Vikings chose the north sideline at TFC Bank Stadium — their temporary home while a dome is being built — because they thought it would help during colder games. With the angle of the sun on December afternoons, the south sideline where the visitors stand is usually completely shaded; if the sun is out, the Vikings sideline gets all of it.Coach Mike Zimmer said on-field readings from Minnesotas home game against Carolina on Nov. 30 showed a 20-degree difference between the sunny and the shaded sideline.The players thanked me for being on that side a couple of times, Zimmer said.While players — or their fans — in spots such as Buffalo or Pittsburgh might hope for an edge down the stretch in this seasons tight AFC playoff race, data compiled by STATS also shows that not all teams based in cold-weather cities thrive this time of year.ddddddddddddSure, over the past 10 seasons, New England is a league-best 42-7 in December, and 14-4 when its 32 degrees or colder at kickoff (oddly enough, only Houston, at 3-0, has a higher winning percentage).But Denver is only 8-9 at 32-or-below at kickoff, a .471 winning percentage thats a significant drop from its .609 in all other games over the decade. Another example: The Cleveland Browns havent been particularly good in any weather the past 10 years, but their winning percentage drops from .349 at 33 degrees or above to .238 when the mercury drops.Sometimes if you take a cold-weather team into warm weather late in the year, that can affect them just as much as it does when you take a warm-weather team and put them in cold weather. Now youve been practicing in colder weather and you have to go out and play in warmer weather — and youre not used to that, either, said Moon, who played for the CFLs Edmonton Eskimos before moving to the NFL. Fatigue sets in. Guys can get a little more tired or dehydrated.At the other end of the spectrum, there are teams from warm-weather sites that do just fine in the cold, such as the Miami Dolphins, who in admittedly small sample size have gone 4-3 at 32-or-below since 2004, a .571 winning percentage that dwarfs their 33-and-above mark of .416.If guys excel in cold weather, it has to be something theyve been coached on or theyve been taught to block it out and say, Were going to play better, Redskins receiver Santana Moss said. When coach (Joe) Gibbs was here, he always taught us that Redskins weather was bad weather — wet, soggy, gloomy, cold. And we actually won games that time of year. We had the same team that didnt even go to the playoffs, but we won games in December.___AP Pro Football Writer Dave Campbell in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, contributed to this report.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrichStitched College JerseysCheap UCLA JerseysNCAA Louisville Cardinals JerseysNorth Carolina Jerseys Stitched Kentucky Wildcats JerseysStitched Alabama Crimson Tide JerseysCheap Basketball Wisconsin Badgers JerseysAuthentic NCAA Jerseys StoreWholesale Basketball NCAA JerseysCheap Duke GearStitched Alabama JerseysStitched Georgia JerseysCheap Clemson Jerseys AuthenticAuthentic Texas JerseysWholesale USC JerseysStitched Oklahoma JerseysStitched Ohio State JerseysCheap Notre Dame GearUCLA Jerseys From ChinaCheap Louisville Jerseys Free ShippingCheap North Carolina Jerseys AuthenticCheap Kentucky Jerseys AuthenticWisconsin Jerseys From ChinaCheap Michigan GearCheap Florida GearWholesale Arizona State JerseysCheap LSU GearCheap Auburn GearCheap California Jerseys Free ShippingCheap Miami Jerseys AuthenticCheap Michigan State GearCheap Tennessee Jerseys AuthenticTexas A&M Jerseys From ChinaAuthentic Wake Forest JerseysWest Virginia Jerseys From China ' ' '
