Erik Nevland has hailed Fulham chairman Mohamed Al Fayed as "an inspiration" ahead of today's relegation decider at Portsmouth.

"He has been an inspiration because he's been down a few times to talk to the players," said recent £1.85m signing Nevland.

"He's been to the training ground and also for about an hour before the game against Birmingham. You can see his commitment to the club and it gives us a buzz. He says things colourfully but I'm not going to say exactly what."
