LONDON - John Terry scored for the second straight game and Diego Costa grabbed his 13th goal of the season as Chelsea beat West Ham 2-0 to stay top of the Premier League on Friday. David Clarkson Blue Jackets Jersey .West Ham arrived at Stamford Bridge in fourth place and one of the surprises of the season, but rested key players Alex Song and Diafra Sakho in view of the hectic festive schedule and was cut down to size by Chelsea.Terry tapped home a close-range finish in the 31st minute after a right-wing corner from Cesc Fabregas was headed goalward by Costa.West Ham goalkeeper Adrian made a string of fine saves but could not get anywhere near a low, angled shot from Costa in the 62nd after the Spain striker was fed by Eden Hazard.Substitute Morgan Amalfitano clipped a deft shot against the post in the 87th minute in one of the few chances created by West Ham, which paid for deploying a defensive shape in the first half that allowed Chelsea to seize the initiative.Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho fielded a full-strength lineup, despite a potentially tougher fixture at Southampton coming up on Sunday. And the gulf in the sides was clear from the start as the hosts — three points clear of Manchester City at the start of the day — won a ninth straight home game, boasting 66 per cent possession.We are playing great, everyone can see that, Terry said. If we can keep playing like that, its going to be tough (to stop Chelsea).Mourinho accused West Ham of playing football from the 19th century after a 0-0 draw between the teams in the corresponding fixture last season, but Terrys goal ensured there would be no frustration this time for Chelsea.Four days after setting Chelsea on its way to a 2-0 win at Stoke, the former England captain was on hand to poke in from barely two meters out to punish West Hams poor marking from a corner.Adrian had already saved well from Gary Cahill and Willian, and the Spanish goalkeeper then tipped aside a curling shot from Nemanja Matic as Chelsea poured forward.Costa looked dangerous throughout and got the goal his performance deserved when he collected a forward pass from Hazard, twisted and turned past Carl Jenkinson, and shot into the bottom corner from just inside the area.Mourinho said he was delighted with the creativity of his team, saying: It was the football of a team that leads (the league), and leads with the credit that it deserves.

His stated reason for abruptly resigning as head coach of Canadas Olympic womens hockey team was he felt there were doubts about his ability to coach the team to Olympic gold in February. Brandon Dubinsky Blue Jackets Jersey Authentic .Y. -- As if the worst start in franchise history isnt bad enough, Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black braced his teams win-starved fans for potentially more tough times. http://www.hockeybluejacketsauthority.com/david-savard-blue-jackets-jersey-c-13/ .C. -- Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has been ruled out for Sundays game against the Atlanta Falcons.TEMPE, Ariz. - In the wake of Arizonas most one-sided loss in Bruce Arians time there, the coach says hes leaning toward starting rookie quarterback Logan Thomas in the regular-season finale.We need to find out what he can do for the future and the playoffs, if it were to come to that, Arians said at his day-after news conference Monday. Thats my job — to make sure that we cover every base.Arians insisted that starting Thomas no way would be a reflection in the way that Ryan played, only the chance for Logan to show that he can do something.Lindley completed 18 of 44 passes for 216 yards with one interception in Arizonas 35-6 loss to Seattle on Sunday night.Thomas would be the fourth quarterback to start for the Cardinals this season, third in the last three games.Sundays game at San Francisco has playoff implications. If the Cardinals win and Seattle loses at home to St. Louis, Arizona would win the NFC West and possibly the conferences No. 1 seed.Either a Cardinals loss or Seahawks win would relegate Arizona to a wild-card spot and a first-round game on the road, most likely as the No. 5 seed.Arians said he has very, very high optimism that Drew Stanton will be ready for the playoffs because he wants to be ready.Had he not had that minor setback last week, he would have probably tried to play in that one (against Seattle), Arians said. Theres no way Ill play him this week unless I have to.Stanton, who took over when Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury, sprained his right knee in Arizonas 12-6 win at St. Louis on Dec. 11. He practiced on a limited basis last Thursday, but experienced some swelling in the knee.We dont want to have another setback, Arians said. Hell work into practice some this week and get some action in practice.Arians said he didnt think nerves got to Lindley.I thought he was very calm, the coach said. He was handling his protections extrremely well. Anton Forsberg Blue Jackets Jersey. It was just a matter of finding the open guy and being accurate.Thomas, a fourth-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech, is a mobile 6-foot-6 quarterback with a cannon arm. Accuracy and decision making are his issues, and the Cardinals had wanted to have him watch from the sidelines all season as the third-string quarterback behind Palmer and Stanton.But when Stanton took over for Palmer after a shoulder injury, then went down with a concussion at Denver, Thomas was forced into action. He completed an 81-yard touchdown pass to Andre Ellington, but his other seven throws fell incomplete.Two days after Palmers season-ending injury, the Cardinals signed Lindley off the San Diego practice squad. Lindley had been Arizonas No. 3 quarterback last season and was in training camp this year before losing the No. 3 job to Thomas.With Stanton out, Arians turned to Lindley, not Thomas, in the crucial game against Seattle, choosing not to send the rookie against the NFLs No. 1 defence.Now Thomas will get his first career start — unless he performs poorly in practice. Then Arians said he could make a change.And when the game begins, Arians vowed to keep the hook handy and replace Thomas with Lindley.Quarterback play was only one of the things that went haywire Sunday night. The running game never gained traction and had to be abandoned when the team fell so far behind. Kerwynn Williams, after gaining 175 yards in 25 carries the previous two games, carried two times for 4 yards.And that defence that prides itself as one of the NFLs best was shredded and overpowered, through the air and on the ground. The 596 yards allowed matched the second most in franchise history. Only the 1958 Chicago Cardinals gave up more, 683 against Pittsburgh.It was Arizonas third loss in five games after a 9-1 start.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
