Pantsil doesn’t enjoy first match against former club

Fulham’s John Pantsil earned cult hero status at West Ham last season and before moving west in search of regular football the Ghanaian was one of the only things that kept fans singing over the final few games as the club took their foot off the gas.

The scene was set today for a romantic reunion. Pantsil was one of four former Hammers in the Fulham team alongside Paul Konchesky, Jimmy Bullard and Bobby Zamora. He spoke in the matchday programme about never forgetting the way West Ham’s fans treated him and the away support responded with an enthusiastic cheer when his name was read out and a hearty rendition of their ironic chant: “he comes from Africa, he’s better than Kaka”

But the relationship turned sour late in the first half when Pantsil challenged for the ball after Robert Green palmed away a Bullard free-kick and followed through on the West Ham keeper. A large percentage of incensed fans began chanting “f*** off Pantsil” before demonstrating the childishness of their sudden turn with a chant of “we don’t like you any more” before booing him every time he touched the ball for the rest of the match.

Wise and Jiminez’s international transfer list, in pencil…

First Nick Faldo and now Dennis Wise - what is it with men of sports authority and leaving bits of paper with team clues lying around? This fell out of Dennis Wise’s pocket in a local pie, mash, eels and old Joanna shop in the East End of London.

Seems the people of Newcastle were right about the cockney revolution after all.

Today’s gossip rumours and damned lies

Sir Alex Ferguson is still refusing to rule out a move for Barcelona flop Thierry Henry, despite his comments in April that “Arsenal are the only English club” for him. Dimitar Berbatov still appears a more likely arrival, so perhaps the Thierry talk is Ferguson’s way of testing Spurs’ resistance.

Elsewhere in transferland…

Didier Drogba to stay
After spending a few weeks mulling things over while desperately waiting for phone calls from Barcelona and Milan, Drogba has kindly decided that it would be nice to continue playing for the club who pay his wages.

Today’s rumours, gossip and damn lies

It’s July 1st folks, which means that the transfer windows have been flung wide open, and all those birds that have been trapped indoors can finally fly away to be grossly overpaid elsewhere. Badly constructed analogies aside, the day’s transfers have been pretty quiet so far, and the latest rumours are a mix of random hearsay and continuing sagas. Let’s kick things off with one from the latter category…

Frank Lampard to Inter Milan
The Deco signing looks like Chelsea’s way of showing Frank where to stick his long-term contract demands. Mourinho claims he is willing to wait until Lampard’s contract expires, but is he just forcing Chelsea’s hand?

The Spoiler Truth-o-meter: The ball is in Inter’s court

Dimitar Berbatov to Man United
Ronaldo or no Ronaldo, a new striker appears to be at the top of United’s wishlist. Ferguson said he only envisages signing one player this summer - could Berbatov be his man?

The Spoiler Truth-o-meter: It seems inevitable that he will leave, and where better to go?

Fernando Torres to Chelsea
The Daily Star wanted a special story for the opening of the transfer window so made up discovered Abramovich would offer £85 million if Liverpool

As the season winds up to a thrilling finale, the more speculative fans have already started on 2008/2009 - who will be where, and why? From trawling the depths of the messageboards and forums, here’s what The Spoiler has stumbled across today:

Luca Toni - Bayern Munich to West Ham
West Ham’s incoming technical director Gianluca Nani discovered Toni at Bayern Munich, which is causing a frezied wave of dillusion in East London. Might the best striker in Europe trade in Champions League football with Bayern Munich for mid-table mediocrity in rainy old England?

Shay Given - Newcastle to Arsenal
Lehmann is almost sixty-years-old, Almunia isn’t entirely convincing, so might Wenger be driven to actually spend some money? The whisper is that Given could finally stop bothering to try and win things at Newcastle.

David Bentley - Blackburn to Aston Villa
Speculation is growing that Bentley will move to one of the big four this summer, but Villa fans are hopeful that their young talented team will be more tempting than the haunting prospect of becoming the next Jermaine Pennant.

Did you do what chickendinner told you to at the weekend?

While we couldn’t predict that Jimmy Bullard would rise above a prolonged period of injury and a punch in the face from a team mate to score a match winning free kick yesterday, the betting tips at chickendinner were second-to-none over the weekend.

Firstly, we told you how Sunderland could not follow up last week’s win
