SUPERSTITIOUS Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra has banned all talk of his amazing cup record ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Cardiff – for fear of putting a jinx on it.
The £5.5million former Chelsea and Arsenal player has impressed at Fratton Park and earned a place in the French national team this year.

And he reluctantly admitted: "It is true, I have not been on the losing side in a cup match for three years.

"But I don't want to talk about it, don't want it mentioned because maybe then it will all go wrong."
