<\/p>\nMichail Antonio \u201cbottled\u201d appearing on his own podcast after his wild Liverpool prediction ended in \u201cshambles\u201d.<\/p>\n
The West Ham striker sparked outrage with his comments on the Footballer\u2019s Football Podcast last week. The 33-year-old boldly backed the Hammers ahead of Sunday\u2019s visit to Anfield, before claiming his side would even finish ahead of Liverpool this season.<\/p>\n
Rather embarrassingly for Antonio, the east Londoners would suffer a 3-1 defeat, in which he failed to score and was substituted before the final 15 minutes. And the Jamaican international understandably opted not to appear on his weekly podcast with Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson after being left with egg on his face.<\/p>\n

Wilson kicked off the podcast by referencing Antonio\u2019s absence, saying: \u201cHas he run away after his shambles of a performance? He has come with a very blunt prediction and, for me, I\u2019m not a Liverpool fan but I received a lot of messages from people who do support Liverpool.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c[Adebayo] Akinfenwa even put a post on his Instagram, sending a few shots about him,\u201d the Newcastle man added, before host Rickie Haywood-Williams played the audio of Antonio\u2019s Liverpool opinions.<\/p>\n

The pair laughed as they listened back, with Wilson saying: "For me, Michail is Michail and he\u2019s not here to defend himself, which is a difficult one. When you put a statement out like that…\u201d while Haywood-Williams replied: \u201cHe\u2019s bottled it Cal, he\u2019s bottled it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilson added: \u201cIf he had said that statement and they had gone on and beat Liverpool, Michail would be sitting here tonight under any circumstances. The fact he made that prediction, went out there and had no goals, no assists, no shots on target, no aerial duels won; he lost the ball ten times and played 74 minutes and then got dragged. <\/p>\n
