Sunderland hold off big teams
Barclays Premier League
Sunderland 1 - 0 West Ham
Steven Fletcher 78'
Great result to start the season off, I wasn't expecting to win this game with such domination statistically, but we dominated them from start to finish. Darren Fletcher playing his debut for the club finishing the game with a whopping 86% pass completion (78 passes). Steven Fletcher bagging the winning goal late on in the game to wrap things up, Podolski also getting the assist on his debut.

Sergio Aguero 85'
Yet another great result away to Man City, we were the clear underdogs in this game and many will be shocked with the result. With only having 2 shots on target all game and lack of possession it was a scrap of a draw for us. Steven Fletcher yet again bagging another crucial goal.
Capital One Cup 2nd Round

Blockbuster of a game at home against Arsenal. Darren Fletcher opening up the scoring on his 3rd appearance for his new side Sunderland, he yet again held the team together with an 87% pass completion percentage. CLASS. Steven Fletcher scoring yet again to make it his 3rd goal out of 3 appearances, with Podolski providing the assist again, impressed by their football, hope they keep this form running throughout the season.With only two shots on goal and two goals scored, we were lucky to come away with the draw. However we conceded a goal in the last 5 minutes again to ****** 2 points off us. Roy Hodgson will hopefully notice this problem and solve it in the future.
Summary
As chairman of the club I couldn't be any happier with these starting results, with new signings Podolski and Fletcher showing full commitment to the side whilst playing high level football. With Roy Hodgson also stepping up to the plate and proved a point with these results. I hope the current form proceeds throughout the rest of the season.
