Ex-Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant couldn't resist a cheeky dig at former Tottenham Hotspur player Jamie O'Hara following Liverpool's resounding 4-0 victory over Spurs on Thursday night.
The Reds, under the guidance of Arne Slot, secured their spot in the upcoming League Cup final, leaving Tottenham in their wake.
Post-match, O'Hara, a dedicated Spurs supporter, was tasked with hosting The Sports Bar on talkSPORT alongside Jason Cundy. During the live broadcast, they received a call from a supposed 'Jay the Liverpool fan', who took no time in teasing O'Hara.
However, it didn't take long for O'Hara to realise that the caller was none other than Pennant. After enduring a good-natured roasting from Pennant, which included him mimicking Cundy's famous 'Haaas anyone seen...' speech and belting out both the Mohamed Salah chant and 'You'll Never Walk Alone', further jibes from Cundy led to a laughing O'Hara playfully removing his headphones and exiting the studio mid-show.
Pennant kicked off his prank call by asking: "Hello, yeah, can you hear me? Brilliant. Haaas anyone seeeeeeen Jamie O'Hara?"
He then proceeded to name-drop other notable figures associated with Spurs, including Ange Postecoglou, George Graham, and David Ginola. At this point, O'Hara had already identified the caller, telling Cundy: "It's Pennant, innit?"
Undeterred, Pennant continued his jesting: "Haaas anyone seeeeeeen Gareth Bale? Because you boys took one hellllllllllll of a beating! Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing."
To which O'Hara could only respond with laughter, asking: "Are you done, Jama? Are you done?"
"Mo Salah, our Egyptian King. Mo Salah," Pennant continued. "You'll Never Walk Alone! Walk on, walk on with hope... Jamie, enjoy your weekend and have another 30 years of ze-ro trophies! How do you feel?"
"Jama, come on mate," O'Hara replied. "Listen, I can take it from Gabby (Agbonalor) and all that, mate, but I ain't taking it from
"You've got to take it, mate," Pennant laughed. "You've got to take the rough with the smooth."
O'Hara replied: "Next time Cundy has a day off, yeah, and you want to come on, I'm going to get Darren Ambrose on! Alright? You can do one!"
"Love it boys, love it!" Pennant laughed, clearly enjoying the lengths he had gone to to successfully wind up O'Hara.
"Obviously you watched the game. But how bad were Spurs?" O'Hara then asked Pennant. "Yeah, they're stinkin', yeah!" Pennant revelled.
"On every single level. Every way you look at it, they absolutely reeked the place out. Like phwoar, from the minute go. From the minute go, I was thinking we are not losing this game in any way shape or form."
Following further ribbing from both Pennant and Cundy, O'Hara warned the former Liverpool man he would get him back. "You know what, the pair of you can do one," he said.
"Right, Jama, listen me, I'm going to message you in the break time because you've got something coming your way!"
"Have a good show boys! Speak to you later!" Pennant laughed before hanging up.
Cundy subsequently targeted Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, a move that proved to be the last straw for O'Hara. The exasperated pundit dramatically slammed his headphones onto the desk and stormed out of the studio in the middle of the broadcast.
