It might be a few days later, but we want to talk more about our win against West Ham United! So Chris & Martin were joined by Ian Murtagh to chat about the weekend and the opportunity ahead for Sunderland...

• Was Ian surprised how much the club pushed the boat out in the summer?

• Have we been clever in the mix of players we've brough to the club?!

• How big a call was it to throw so many new players in for their debut?

• We talk about how good our goals were...

• We try and put it into perspective and look at West Ham's part in the result...

• How big an opportunity is this to keep it rolling with Burnley and Brentford up next?!
