SUNDERLAND have hit Champions League form under Martin OâNeill. Going into this weekend, only the Premier Leagueâs top two â Manchester United and Manchester City â had picked up more points than the Black Cats since OâNeill took over on Wearside in early December. The Irishman inherited a Sunderland side with a paltry 11 points from 14 games to its name, but he has transformed the clubâs fortunes after amassing a further 26 points from his first 14 league games in charge. Only Man United (34) and City (28) have seen a better return over the same period, while Arsenal equalled Sunderlandâs tally. Fantastic and in the quarter final of the FA Cup which is more than the two Manchester teams

That is a truely incredible stat to hold almost 4 months after taking charge. If he can keep it up til the end of the season the man will be a real miracle worker!
