Robbie Williams should know better than to raise the ire of Noel Gallagher.
On Friday night at Wembley, Robbie said: "The Rolling Stones have done two nights here. Oasis did three - Take That are here for eight on the trot. Mick Jagger can lick Gary Barlow's face. Noel Gallagher can lick my a**e."
And not for the first time in their colourful past, his old nemesis Noel has responded with a jibe.
Referring to Robbie's revelation that he has the sex drive of a 100-year-old, Noel said: "Lick his big fat Bobby-Butlins a**e? Wow! The hormone replacements must be doing the trick, eh? I'd rather suck on his man boobs." Robbie told Esquire magazine he regularly injects testosterone to treat a diagnosed hormone imbalance.
It's like pulling your pants down and asking for your bottom to be spanked in public by an opportunist verbal sparring partner like Noel.
And he's wise to get it out of the way now. The recently married Manc has a big announcement this week about his solo career - which shouldn't be dominated by someone else's antics.
Robbie doesn't need the mud-slinging any more.
It's a waste of energy and - more importantly for his baby-hungry missus Ayda - a waste of that priceless testosterone.
