Thoroughly enjoying it so far Gary

Cracking interview so far @Gary James I remember waking up to the news we had been taken over as well and couldn't take it all in. When we were still struggling under Hughes I thought "Typical City. We're now the richest club in the world and bought much better players but we're still crap." When Mancini came in and said he was going to rip that banner down I thought, ,"Right, here we go!" and so it proved.

Just click the link in the original post and go to the audio file, that’s the bit under where it says, “Anyway, here’s part one”. Click on the triangle. As long as you have a speaker in your device you should not need anything else.

It won't play in the ps4 browser, I'll try it on the fire stick browser later mate.

Enjoyed that. I always say when people accuse Noel of being a hanger on etc, that he had a season ticket near me in the Platt Lane and attended every game.

His job, like many other people's, mean he can't get to every game now and his job also now means, invariably, that he gets to know players, managers and they become friends and he gets invites to games. Think it's a bit of jealousy actually with some.

I also think he is still a knowledgeable and passionate blue and a good ambassador for City.

Saw him at Crystal Palace away a few years ago when Kelechi scored the last min winner. He was just in with the fans I think that day as was stood near the bar with Mike Pickering. Gets mithered to death though for photos so no wonder he goes corporate most of the time.

i think if the club wanted the perfect rock n roll image ambassador fan, they would clone Noel.

it is a match made in heaven and something money cant buy, noel is fantastic when in the studios as a pundit, you sit there waiting for him to say what nobody else dare say.

the oasis / city connection, even though i say it myself is by far the best celeb / footy club combo in all the english leagues. It is intriguing.

 

[Gary James]

Thanks for all the comments so far. Part three will be posted by about 10.30 on Wednesday morning. Cheers

oasis, are still a "cool" band with younger people ,they spread the word, never understood people giving them stick for "free loading" noel is probably really good mates with a few of the players as well, love oasis, love city

Pure jealousy mate. For some reason certain people don’t like to see others do well, those people will never be happy unfortunately for them.

In the dark days of the 90s Oasis helped make MCFC appeal to people around the globe. City sold merchandise by using Oasis’s name so if we added it all up it may well be that MCFC still owe Noel for the increased income the club had back then.

for me the difference between Noel Gallagher and certain celebrity fans of other clubs is clear. He was a fan, like any of us, but he became a celebrity. He wasn’t a celebrity who became a fan of a trendy club like some people do.

Over the years I’ve interviewed quite a few celebrity MCFC fans and I can usually tell straight away how much of a fan they were BEFORE they became famous and were wined/dined by the club. Noel is a definite fan. Like us all he may get the odd date wrong - his first game was in 75 for example not 74 - but you can tell he was there because of what he says; how he describes it etc. His stories of specific games tend to match the facts and the experiences ordinary fans had.

Cheers Gary I look forward to listening to the interviews. Top man.

I think a few Bluemooners will be interested in this... I interviewed Noel Gallagher last week about City and I’ve posted the first part of the audio recording here (it’s free to listen to and there’ll be a new section each day for 5 days):

The Noel Gallagher interview Part one

Last Thursday (May 20) I interviewed Noel Gallagher about his support of Manchester City, the Champions League and more. Here is the first part of the interview. This clip lasts about 15 minutes. Obviously, when two Mancs of a similar age get together to chat about City, particularly when...

Thanks Gary

These interviews are great, thanks for sharing, Gary.

A lot of podcasts seem to be all about the podcaster themselves begging for attention.

But yours are always about the guest and the club, and you bring a calm and assured legitimacy to it. Thanks again.
