Jose Mourinho On Noel Gallagher's Appearance On Soccer Sunday

Jose Mourinho has said that Noel Gallagher's appearance as a panelist on Sky Sports' coverage of the Manchester derby is like him assuming a role as a judge on the Eurovision song contest.

Gallagher will join regular pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher at Old Trafford tommorow to offer his views on one of the most eagerly anticipated derby games in many years.

When asked about Gallagher’s inclusion on the Sky panel, Mourinho smiled and offered up this cheeky answer.

"Noel is a big Man City fan, that's not a problem at all," stated Mourinho.

"I think if someone invite me to be a pundit on the Eurovision Song Contest I wouldn't go. I wouldn't risk myself. If Noel wants to do that, brave man."

Super Sunday just got Supersonic! @mancity superfan Noel Gallagher will be the special studio guest for Derby Day! Tag a mate who loves @themightyi 🙌🏻

Watch Noel Gallagher's Interview With Jamie Carragher

Ahead of Liverpool V Manchester City in the Capital One Cup, we sent Liverpool legend, and Sky Sports pundit, Jamie Carragher to meet up with ex-Oasis and Manchester City super-fan, Noel Gallagher, to discuss the two teams chances on Sunday, Pep Guardiola's imminent arrival at City, and Klopp's successes so far in the red half of Mersey.

Noel Gallagher: Manuel Pellegrini Must Learn From Liverpool Defeat

Man City fan Noel Gallagher hopes Manuel Pellegrini changes his approach for the Capital One Cup final after City's heavy defeat to Liverpool earlier this season.

Pellegrini's side were three goals down after 32 minutes at the Etihad Stadium in November, and eventually lost 4-1 as Liverpool put together one of their most impressive displays of the season under Jurgen Klopp.

Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino each found the net as they ran rampant in the first half, and as the two sides prepare to meet again at Wembley this weekend, Gallagher fears a repeat performance.

Watch Jamie Carragher's Interview With Noel Gallagher This Morning On Soccer AM

Tune into Soccer AM from 10am (UK) on Sky Sports 1 and Sky One to catch Noel and Jamie Carragher chatting about the upcoming Man City v Liverpool Cup Final!

Jamie Carragher Interviews Manchester City Fan Noel Gallagher Ahead Of The Capital One Cup Final

On Sunday, February 28, Manchester City and Liverpool will start a new chapter in the long-standing rivalry between the two cities when they meet in the Capital One Cup final.

Sportsmail columinist and former Reds defender Jamie Carragher and Noel Gallagher of Oasis know exactly what it means for their beloved clubs to be on the verge of success and when they met up on Monday they looked to at least be enjoying each other's company.

The two came together to appear in a segment on Sky's Soccer AM programme in which Carragher interviews Gallagher.

Carragher posted an image of the pair on his Instagram account with the caption: 'Interviewed a Rock 'N' Roll Star today Noel Gallagher for #socceram talking Man City v Liverpool cup final, Guardiola & MNF!'

It is indeed interesting that the pair got on so well especially as they met less than 24 hours after Carragher, in his role as a pundit for Sky Sports, had said that City won't win the Premier League title this season.

The programme will air on Saturday, February 27 at 10am on Sky Sports 1 and Sky One.

Noel Gallagher Supports Jamie Carragher's Testimonial

A raft of Liverpool favourites will pull on red shirts once again next Saturday to help Jamie Carragher celebrate his glittering Anfield career.

Carragher’s eagerly-awaited testimonial game against Everton takes place on September 4 and the Liverpool side that will line up against the Blues will feature several faces who shared in some of the defender’s greatest moments.

Michael Owen and Emile Heskey will reprise their double act from the treble winning season of 2000/01, wearing the numbers – 10 and eight respectively – with which they were synonymous during that glorious campaign.

Steven Finnan, a mainstay of the teams that won the Champions League in 2005 and the FA Cup 12 months later, will slot in on the right side of Liverpool’s defence, while Jerzy Dudek – one of the heroes from an unforgettable night in Istanbul – will stand between the posts once more.

Danny Murphy will be pulling the strings in midfield, while Stephen Wright, Stephen Warnock, David Thompson and Jason McAteer will be involved, as will Jamie Redknapp; commitments overseas, unfortunately, have prevented Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler from taking part.

Everton boss David Moyes has promised to pick a strong team for the game, which kicks off at 2pm, and it is understood that attempts have been made to see if Duncan Ferguson – with whom Carragher enjoyed many fierce battles – will pull on a blue shirt again.

In the directors box, meanwhile, a number of faces who helped nurture Carragher from promising novice to world class defender will be evident, as men such as Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez, Ronnie Moran, Hughie Macauley, Phil Thompson and Roy Evans have been invited.

Tickets are selling well for the contest – it is the first time since Bruce Grobbelaar’s benefit game ended in a 2-2 draw in October 1992 that Liverpool and Everton have faced each other in a testimonial – and every penny raised will go to charities in Merseyside through the 23 Foundation.

Tickets can be bought from the tickets offices at both Anfield and Goodison and also from the Liverpool Club Shop at Liverpool One in the city centre.

There will be free entry to all members of the armed forces from Merseyside who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq and a number of tickets have gone to the 1,900 charitable organisations in the region.

The theme of the day will be very much centred towards family and Carragher is hoping to see the stands packed with youngsters; in keeping with that, every member of Liverpool and Everton’s Academy have been invited

Carragher, who has made 635 appearances for Liverpool since coming on as a substitute against Middlesbrough in January 1997, is also holding a gala dinner at the Echo Arena convention centre and 20 tables have been added to the original floor plan of 60 due to demand.

Again, all money will go to charity and the night will be hosted by John Bishop; music will be provided by James Walsh from Starsailor, Ian Broudie, The Coral and The Bluetones, while among the unique auction prizes are two Gold discs donated by Noel Gallagher.

Tables of 10 cost between £2,000 and £4,000, while there is also an opportunity to buy single seats, the prices of which range from £200 to £400; all enquiries should address to Stacey Koks by emailing info@23foundation.com or calling 0151 236 2025.
