Noel Gallagher on Talksport

Jazzyblue said:
His songs have aged very well, and as a schoolkid in the 90s it was great to see Blues from south Manchester get so far, even though it all got a bit cheesy when the tabloids jumped on it. The problem is some of the stuff he comes out with. What comes across as 'swagger' and 'attitude' when you're in your twenties comes across completely differently when you're in your fifties. Johnny Marr and Mike Pickering are also lifelong Blues who have been very successful in music, would rather be stuck in a lift with them.

+1 for being a lonely City supporting schoolkid surrounded by plastic United fans in the 90s and Oasis being about the only thing I had on my side. Otherwise it was just relegation banter and Curly fucking Watts. Won't have a bad word said against them, no one was holding a gun to their head to wear City colours on the NME and play Maine Road.

when do you ever hear Johnny or Mike being asked about City in the media ?,they're
obviously not high profile as Noel is. I'll always be so glad he is a blue and wasn't a rag.

Bit of a nasty post. All I have seen over the last 20 odd years is a really talented books from Burnage who has stood up for City and promoted us when it really was not fashionable. What he does with his money is his business. He gets freebies etc because that’s the world we live in but at least he does go to games.
People might not like his music and that’s fine nor agree with his opinions on City and that’s also fine.

Find it weird to always read bitterness when it comes to noel and liam. They helped make supporting city fashionable when we were absolute gash.

As regards to him getting freebies, youre absolutely correct. Its the world we love in.
The game last year when we lifted the prem trophy i was lucky to be invited into a club box after the game. It was full of all sorts of minor celebrities but the one that intrigued me was Nigerias biggest rapper , or summat.
My pal who helps sort it all said the rapper asked for tickets for him and 3 others. He was invited totally free and only asked to post something on his social media as he has something like 20m followers. The cost of him being in the box is tiny compared to the exposure he would give the club for a quick insta post.

Mad world

No doubt Noel has the higher profile, is our most famous fan and has always spoken up for the club. Just that Johnny and Mike are less arrogant, more open-minded blokes in my opinion, are also Manc musicians, and are also lifelong Blues. Might be doing Noel a disservice but this is a reputation he's carved out for himself.

Mark E Smith was one of our maverick fans,we have a lot,The Doves etc, I'm just glad they're blues.
Noel is asked,in the spotlight more than most,he'll have off days and good.

His arrogance is part of his image,that he keeps up,no doubt for a laugh.

Anyone would think the lad went on air and called Pep a fraud. He went on air and said that there isn't a big wild conspiracy like some of our bonkers fans imagine there to be, but the press is cooler on us because it's full of red shirts (true) and that Mahrez was a great player for us but perhaps not a key player for us (also true, or at the very least a perfectly reasonable position held by a lot of fans, me included).

Leave Curly out of it

Some just don’t like him and never will. He’s a top bloke and great company. I think he’s sound and considering how idolised and wealthy he is he’s also very very grounded.
Can’t please everybody I suppose.

Pure jealousy mate, that's what the majority are like in this country, big em up, then knock em down...its the British disease.
