Portsmouth goalkeeper David James has revealed what Petr Cech said to him at halftime of Chelsea's FA Cup win yesterday.

In his column for the Observer, James wrote: "The first half was surreal - each time Chelsea hit the post I could not help but grin. At half-time Petr Cech and I walked down the tunnel together and he said to me: 'What have you done to that goal?' Like a fool, I said: 'You'll find out in the second half.'

"Unfortunately, they did, as it seemed to continue its charmed existence to their good fortune. I can't say that the penalty save turned the game but it kept them at parity and it wasn't long after that they scored."
