Michail Antonio has further staked his claim as the West Ham comedian with his latest social media post.

Ahead of Fulham’s trip across West London to face West Ham in East London, Antonio posted a video from Ali G Indahouse on his Twitter account.

Antonio shares the scene where two rival rap groups come together to argue whether ‘Eastside’ or ‘Westside’ is the best.

And in anticipation of the London derby on Friday night, Antonio said: “Friday night we’ll show Eastside is the best” along with crossed Hammers emoji and the hashtag ‘COYI’.

Throughout his time at West Ham, Antonio has picked up a repuation for being a bit of a joker.

The 28-year-old has treated fans to some wacky, wonderful and weird celebrations over the years, including the ‘Homer Simpson’, the ‘Carlton’ and most recently the ‘Gangnam Style’.

Moreover, he covered Marko Arnautovic’s car in wrapping paper before Christmas and posted the video on Instagram as one of his many pranks.

Even his first goal for the club was comical with the ball bouncing off his head when the winger was on the floor and looping into the net.

Perhaps West Ham fans will see him wheel out an Ali G inspired celebration if he nets against Fulham on Friday.
