Terry believes Chelsea can still win the Premier League

Terry and first-team coach Henk ten Cate had a training ground spat prior to the final, while the media focus has also angered Blues coach Avram Grant.

But Chelsea returned to winning ways on Saturday, beating West Ham 4-0 away.

"We've sorted things out very quickly as you can see from this performance," Terry told BBC Sport.

We're still in three competitions and we've still got a very good chance John Terry

"We've reacted to what has been said in the papers and reacted in a positive way and that's the only way the players can by doing it on the pitch.

"At every club things go on behind the scenes and nobody knows the full details.

"Things happen and things are sorted out very quickly and if not they drag on and disturb players and performances at the club.

"That's not the situation at Chelsea. The lads, the fans and the manager are all fighting to move Chelsea forward."

Chelsea had Frank Lampard, who scored the first goal on Saturday against his old club from a penalty, sent off just before the interval, but by then Grant's side were 3-0 up.

Despite being a man short, Chelsea extended their lead in the second half.

And Terry believes Chelsea, who are seven points behind leaders Arsenal, but with a game in hand, still have a chance of winning their third Premier League title in four years.

"We have to keep believing," said Terry. "Arsenal slipped up on Saturday against Aston Villa. Any time they slip up we have to make sure we are there to pick up the three points.
