Sunderland boss O'Neill: TV want Peterborough to win

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill knows TV will be hoping for an upset against FA Cup opponents Peterborough United.

O'Neill, who has never enjoyed success in this competition as a player or manager, is well aware of the dangers.

O'Neill said: "They are there to see us get beaten. Three years ago, when I was at Villa, we played at Gillingham and they caused us all sorts of problems.

"We had England internationals in the team - James Milner, people like that were playing.

"We were lucky we won eventually, lucky to survive. So I know the feeling.''
