Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill admits reassessing his sights on this season's FA Cup.

O'Neill was asked last month whether Sunderland fans should put a tenner on the club winning the FA Cup.

"Absolutely not, save your money. Don't be silly," came the answer from the dry humoured manager, keen to play expectations down and not get carried away.

Having seen off Arsenal, O'Neill was asked again, whether Sunderland were a worthy punt.

This time he was wavering: "A fiver? No. A couple of quid? Maybe now we are worth a couple of quid.... each way!"
