O'Neill warns fans

by Setanta Staff , 08 February 2012 O'Neill warns fans

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has warned fans not to take anything for granted as they prepare to face Middlesbrough in the Cup.


The replay offers the winners a home tie with Arsenal, Saturday's opponents for the Black Cats in the Premier League, but the boss has warned the fans that it will not be easy against Boro and not to look too far ahead.

"I would be really surprised if a Sunderland supporter who really knew about the game would take anything for granted now, particularly for the kind of run we have had in recent years," O'Neill said.

"I don't think that for a second. That's certainly not my attitude.

"We have a very, very difficult game that can go either way, and I wouldn't even look at Arsenal at all.

"Obviously, we have got Arsenal at the weekend, and that's a different issue all together in terms of the league. What I can say is that we will just give everything to try to win the game - but that won't automatically give us victory at all."
