Speaking on the Footballer’s Football Podcast, Michail Antonio has shared how he plans to celebrate if he scores against Newcastle this weekend.

Usually a game against Newcastle would be just another game for Antonio, but nowadays there’s an added spice to this fixture.

Indeed, Antonio’s co-host on the Footballer’s Football Podcast is Callum Wilson, and it’s fair to say that bragging rights are at stake in this one.

Antonio has actually already planned out his celebration here, and he plans on mocking Wilson by throwing up a ‘W’ sign if he finds the back of the net at the weekend.

What’s been said?

Antonio previewed the game and spoke about his celebration.

“It is definitely going to be a hard game with the way you guys have performed in the past few weeks, you see the resilience in your team, and we’ve shown that as well. We’ve basically gotten things even though we’ve not performed at our best. Three points are needed to be fair, we’re going for this fourth spot so we can’t let up. We have to go for it, and as much as I like you and the relationship that we’ve built on this podcast, we can’t let up, and if I score this weekend I will throw up a W for you,” Antonio said.

Hilarious

For those that are in the loop, this could be an absolutely hilarious celebration from Antonio.

The Jamaican isn’t afraid to have fun with his celebrations, famously pulling a cardboard cutout from the crowd earlier this season, but mocking Wilson after scoring against his team will take it to the next level.

This podcast could be a fiery one next week if Antonio manages to score against United.
