COMMENTARY

Some West Ham fans all took the same cheeky dig at Michail Antonio after Football.London reporter Sam Inkersole revealed the attacker would be fit to face Manchester United on Saturday. The reliable journalist revealed, via his personal Twitter account, that the 29-year-old winger had recovered from the ankle injury that saw him miss the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea and it seems supporters knew what they were about to see from the player if he featured against Manchester United. Several joked that the residents who live around Old Trafford should brace themselves for their window being smashed, with several highlighting how often Antonio’s efforts go blazing over the bar. The attacker, who rakes in £70,000-a-week (Source: Spotrac), has only managed to score five times in his 33 outings, and given that it’s a common sight to see the attacker’s efforts to score go sailing over the bar, it’s easy to see why some fans cracked a joke at his expense. However maybe Antonio should focus on the Hammers fan who took a dig that he is often firing ambitious shots at goal, but claimed that Saturday was the day that one of his efforts will finally sail into the top corner.
