Michail Antonio makes embarrassing podcast decision after bold Liverpool comments backfire
Michail Antonio chose not to take part in his weekly football podcast with Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson after seeing his double Liverpool prediction go wrong.
Antonio sent social media crazy last week after boldly backing West Ham United to win at Anfield, before going on to claim the Hammers would also finish above the Reds in the table this season.
David Moyes' side, of course, subsequently fell to a 3-1 defeat on Sunday afternoon, during which Antonio failed to score and was substituted as the game entered the final 15 minutes.
Plenty of Liverpool fans were quick to poke fun at the Jamaica international after his pre-match comments horrendously backfired, though the 33-year-old has refused the opportunity to respond to his remarks.

Doing a no-show on his Footballer's Football Podcast, which also features Wilson on a weekly basis, it seems Antonio is not yet ready to own up to his misjudgement.
Kicking things off on the podcast, Wilson began: “Has he run away after his shambles of a performance?" Sharing a joke with host Rickie Haywood-Williams, the pair laughed as they listened back to Antonio's Liverpool opinions.
“Wow, I think that says it all," said Wilson after listening back to the audio. The Newcastle star continued: "He has come with a very blunt prediction and, for me, I’m not a Liverpool fan but I received a lot of messages from people who do support Liverpool.
