Liverpool Receive Public Apology From Premier League Player Following Ridiculous Comment

West Ham United forward, Michail Antonio has reportedly issued a public apology to Liverpool players after his prediction about the club didn’t come to pass.

When West Ham came to Anfield back in September, Antonio was confident his team would defeat Jurgen Klopp’s side and finish the season ahead of them.

“I am backing myself over Liverpool,” he declared on the Footballer’s Football Podcast. “You know what, I think we are going to finish higher than Liverpool this season. I’m putting it out there.

“I watched the game [Wolves vs Liverpool] because it was before our game and Wolves could have run away with it! They had quite a few opportunities. We’ve got them this weekend and it’s a six-pointer. We’ve got them!”

Antonio, though, had little effect on the game, which the Reds won 3-1. He can’t forget his incorrect prediction thanks to the Reds’ faithful.

He acknowledged last month that he was still receiving negative feedback from supporters. Which was why he wasn’t rooting for Jurgen Klopp’s side to win the Premier League.

“I don’t want Liverpool to win the league because the fans are still in my inbox,” he said on the Footballers’ Football podcast.

“Get lost! I’m saying it with [my] chest. I don’t want Liverpool to win the league! Come for me! Arsenal get it. Man City, get it. That’s all I have to say about that!”

According to Daily Express, Antonio has now apologized to the Reds supporters and has changed his attitude. In the most recent episode of Footballer’s Football podcast, he expressed regret for previous remarks.

“It was a bit wild. It was very wild. I said that there was a possibility that West Ham could finish above Liverpool this year. I’m not going to lie, I said it was my chest.

“I was obviously deluded at the time. So I am going to have to hand out a public apology to the Liverpool fans and the Liverpool players. I take it back.”
