Newcastle United and West Ham stars clash when naming five-a-side team
and live on Freeview channel 276
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson and West Ham United forward Michail Antonio locked horns when picking a combined five-a-side team.
The two goalscorers were tasked with picking the ultimate five-a-side team made up of players entirely from The Magpies and The Hammers.

Fellow podcast host Rickie Haywood-Williams was tasked with keeping the peace as Wilson and Antonio's trademark banter bordered on a full-blown argument.
Here's the team the duo ended up with - and the feisty discussions had for each place.
Goalkeeper - Lukas Fabianski
Antonio wasted no time in picking his keeper in between the sticks - "Lukas has made more saves than Pope over the last couple of years," he said.

"I've shot against Fabianki before and I've shot against Pope before, and I'm saying Pope is better."
The decision came down to Rickie who, despite initially agreeing that the Magpies' shot-stopper should get the nod, eventually bought Antonio's argument for Fabianski.
Defence - Fabian Schar
Despite Newcastle's marquee signing in Sven Botman, Wilson plumped for Fabian Schar at the back.

"The goal he scored the other week, you can't question it, you aren't getting man like Zouma doing something like that."
Antonio had little to argue against the pick.
Midfield - Allan Saint-Maximin & Declan Rice
Both players agreed that mercurial winger Allan Saint-Maximin was a shoo-in for the five-a-side team.
Wilson said: "You have to play Saint-Maximin. Fact. In a five-a-side he has to play."

Wilson argued the Brazilian's silky ball skills made him a no-brainer, but Antonio questioned his defensive abilities.
The West Ham striker said: "You need someone who can get forward and get back, who has skills and can score a goal. Declan Rice is a madness. Bruno can't do what Dec does."
Rickie had the final call and went for the Englishman.
Striker - Gianluca Scamacca
Wilson and Antonio took the decision to leave themselves out of the runnings for the striker decision - encouraged to do so by a peace-keeping Rickie.

Again, Rickie had the final call and went for The Hammers' striker.
