...now be nice to our Egcentric Egyptian, don't forget that in 2002 when we played York City in the cup Mr Fayed let them have Fulham's half of the gate receipts:-

TWO days before his club's fourth-round FA Cup tie against York City, Fulham chairman Mohamed Fayed pledged his club's share of the gate receipts - estimated at £30,000 - to York City Supporters' Trust, to help the Third Division club's campaign for survival beyond this season. The Football Association have given approval for this unprecedented gesture.

"Football is the people's game," Fayed said. "It is the supporters who are the lifeblood of the game in this country. York are a historic club with fine traditions and it would be a tragedy for the fans if the club were to die."

So you never know, maybe you should play that song by the Bangles pre-match..
