Callum Wilson taunts Michail Antonio for mystery BBC podcast no-show and teases pal for 'running away' | The Sun

Sport

NEWCASTLE striker Callum Wilson has mocked Michail Antonio for failing to show up for a podcast after his bold West Ham prediction massively backfired.

Last week, Antonio, 33, claimed that the Hammers will finish ABOVE Liverpool at the end of the season.


David Moyes' side then went on to suffer a 3-1 defeat to the Reds at Anfield on Sunday.

And to make matters worse for Antonio, he was substituted in the 75th minute of the match following a poor performance.

The striker then missed the recording of his own podcast, The Footballer's Football Podcast.

Wilson, Antonio's co-host, was quick to point out his absence in a recent episode.

Speaking on the BBC podcast, the Newcastle star said: "Where's Michail? Has he run away after his shambles of a performance?

"If he'd have said that statement and [West Ham] had gone and beat Liverpool, Michail would be sitting here tonight under any circumstances.

"The fact he made that prediction, had no goals, no assists or shots on target, no aerial duels won, lost the ball 10 times, played 75 minutes before being dragged, for me personally I wouldn't show my face either!"

Speaking about West Ham's Premier League season in a previous episode, Antonio said: "I'm backing myself over Liverpool. You know what, I think we are going to finish higher than Liverpool this season. I'm putting it out there."
