Saturday Sundae: Steven Fletcher justifies his £12m fee at Sunderland
MAN OF THE DAY Steven Fletcher's £12m valuation raised expert eyebrows when he joined Sunderland; his two debut goals away to Swansea lowered them again. For now. RUNNER-UP Andy Carroll . When he's bad, he's a lumbering gift to football comedy; when he's good, he's close to unplayable. On his West Ham debut he was at his old-fashioned, no-nonsense best. MOST MISUNDERSTOOD André Villas-Boas – booed at White Hart Lane despite overseeing what appears to be a textbook Spurs start to a season: a limp, winless run after a summer of mounting expectation. Emerging on Twitter after the match, a new chant: "You're just a young Juande Ramos." PEDANT OF THE DAY Jon Moss, the referee at West Brom. He started the second half without Everton's Marouane Fellaini, who was sent back to the dressing-room for having the wrong colour tape on his socks. BEST FRESH START Kieron Dyer – playing 23 minutes as a sub for QPR at Manchester City without incident. Last season's total playing time: seven minutes. MATCH OF THE DAY The League One thriller at Bramall Lane, where the inhabitants of the new Jessica Ennis Stand saw more goals than there are heptathlon events. Sheffield United beat Bournemouth 5-3. QUOTE OF THE DAY Kilmarnock's manager Kenny Shiels : possibly the first manager to accuse his own team of playing anti-football in their 0-0 draw with Ross County. "It's not what I came to Scotland for, it was anti-football. Inside I'm hurting." PLUS: ANSWERED QUESTION Are Sam Allardyce and Andy Carroll the most perfect match since Joanie met Chachi? Yes
