Fabian Delph
Noel Gallagher
Patrick Roberts
Raheem Sterling
Manchester City’s decision to sign England midfielder Fabian Delph has been described as 'odd' by lifelong Citizens fan Noel Gallagher.
Delph performed a miraculous U-turn by joining last season’s Premier League runners-up in an £8m deal from Aston Villa earlier this month, and was heavily criticised for the manner of his exit from the Midlands club
The 25-year-old, along with Raheem Sterling and Patrick Roberts, have added to City’s dwindling home-grown quota, but Gallagher isn’t convinced the midfielder will feature regularly.
“Out of the two signings [Delph and Sterling], that one [Delph] was the oddest one,” Gallagher told the Sports Bar.
“I’m not sure how that’s going to work out. He’s got to get in front of Yaya [Toure], [David] Silva, [Samir] Nasri, Sterling and Fernandinho. There’s about six other experienced players in front of him.”
But, while the capture of Delph hasn’t particularly enthused Gallagher, the rock star believes the ex-Villa captain is a like-for-like replacement for James Milner, who joined Liverpool after his contract expired at the Etihad, and will grow into his role.
He has also been comforted by the nature of City’s recruits this summer, with younger players seemingly prioritised to compensate for what was an ageing squad last season.
On Delph’s arrival, Gallagher added: “He will replace Milner. He’s a good player and he might have a season of being on the fringes and then he might become a regular starter.
“But what I do like about the players City have signed and been linked with is they are all in their 20s, so clearly they are building for the next six years.”

Arsene Wenger
David Silva
Jack Wilshere
Noel Gallagher
Paul Gasciogne
Noel Gallagher has slammed Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere’s off-field activities, claiming he will never be able to emulate the levels reached by current world-class midfielders if he carries on misbehaving.
Wilshere has been caught smoking twice during his career - the latest incident occurring in February whilst out injured – and has been criticised by Gunners manager Arsene Wenger.
The England star has long been tipped as the most natural successor to Paul Gascoigne, but Gallagher insists the 23-year-old’s indiscretions will damage his development.
“You think of the great midfielders in the game now, like [David] Silva andthe Barcelona players – they’re athletes. They don’t smoke and drink,” Gallagher told the Sports Bar.
“This lad has been caught twice. That’s what sets him apart and what links him to Gazza.
“That catches up with you in the end. If you are smoking and drinking you are not an athlete.”
Wilshere bounced back from an injury-plagued season with Arsenal to score two stunning goals for England against Slovenia, and Gallagher has urged him to address his attitude to help fulfil his potential.
“The great players in the league dedicate themselves to be the best, and smoking and drinking isn’t going to cut it,” he added.

Fabio Capello
Noel Gallagher
Roy Hodgson
Sven Goran-Eriksson
Noel Gallagher has delivered a damning assessment of the current state of the England national side, claiming they are ‘cast as far away into the wilderness as they’ve ever been.’
England endured a disastrous 2014 World Cup campaign, miserably failing to pick up a single victory as Roy Hodgson’s men fell at the group stages.
They have since recovered well to top their Euro 2016 qualifying group with a 100 per cent record to date, but Gallagher isn’t convinced any improvements have been made since the debacle in Brazil.
“England are as far away cast into the wilderness as they’ve ever been. I don’t see anything moving forward,” the rock star told the Sports Bar.
“I don’t think 11 English lads will ever be better than 11 German lads, it’s been proven. They go from these young lads who are surrounded by world superstars, who make them look twice the players they actually are, to the national team.”
Hodgson has gone some way to answering his critics following the woes of last summer, but uncertainty regarding his long-term future still remains.
Many believe that, because he is now 67, the FA will look for a successor after the European Championship finals in France, and Gallagher can see a foreign manager, like previous appointments Sven Goran-Eriksson and Fabio Capello, being considered again.
He added: “I don’t think he [Hodgson] will get one [deal]. There’s another crossroads coming.

Avicii
David Guetta
Kasabian
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
The Prodigy
Noel Gallagher fires out withering quotes more often than you hear a busker covering ‘Wonderwall’, which basically means he does it almost every time he opens his mouth.
Now one of his recent targets, Swedish DJ and producer Avicii, has hit back after Gallagher dismissed EDM as “a dude in a hat and a pair of fake DJ decks pressing play on a CD player” by posting a South Park clip on Instagram and calling him a “silly sausage”. Shots fired!
Gallagher had shared the top of the bill with Avicii, David Guetta, Kasabian and The Prodigy at Scotland’s T In the Park festival earlier this month and told the XFM that it was “disturbing” that the lineup was headlined by DJs and older rock acts. “It’s quite telling … that still at festivals the biggest draw are bands who have been around for ten years” he explained. “Radiohead, Coldplay, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers. It’s all bands that have been going fifteen years. So once that generation of nineties bands eventually decides they’ve made enough money and will retire, then what are we left with? … [It’s] quite a bleak future.”
But Avicii disagrees. “There are still good bands, still making great music that changes peoples lives,” Avicii wrote in his Instagram response. “What is really sad is hearing a old time musician like yourself confessing so bluntly and openly to not having an open mind to new music by dissing shit u havnt even heard , I really didnt think someone whose whole image is being witty would turn all stereotype ‘bitter ol timer rocker’ like that lol.” The producer goes on to dare Gallagher to still say the same thing after listening to his new album Stories, which includes collaborations with with Jon Bon Jovi, Billie Joe Armstrong, Chris Martin, Wyclef Jean, Serj Tankian and Matisyahu.
Gallagher released his second solo album Chasing Yesterday in February and recently confirmed that he’ll return to Australia for a tour in 2016.

Oasis
Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has hit out at the attitude of Australians in the midst of a thrilling Ashes cricket series.
Michael Clarke’s side were in deep trouble at stumps on day one of the third Test against England at Edgbaston after being bowled out for just 136.
In response, England were 3-133 at the end of the day’s play and eyeing off a significant first-innings lead.
In a wide-ranging interview with radio station Talksport in England, Gallagher took the chance to aim fire at Australians.
“I don’t watch a lot of cricket … but I watch the Ashes,” Gallagher said.
“The Australians are so childish. Have you ever been to Australia? Fascinating place … it’s full of Australians.
“I was watching local TV news once and I thought I was watching ‘Monty Python’ … They were showing a Wellington [boot] throwing competition.”
Gallagher, of course, is no stranger to criticising Aussies, famously ranting about the Socceroos in 2006 and admitting he wanted to slap Tim Cahill.
“Stick to the Aussie rules and the tennis and the cricket and the rugby – you are good at that,” Gallagher told AAP.
“Football is the game of the intelligentsia and you are s**t at it. You will never win anything so give it up.
“What do they call them, the Socceroos? Do me a f**king favour, you could come up with a better nickname than that.
“I don’t know, there is something about him [Cahill]. I would love to kick him right in the bo**ocks.
“He has just got one of those faces. Don’t you find his face really slappable? I can assure you, lots of people in England do.”

Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Liam Gallagher performed an unknown song during an impromptu set last Sunday (July 26) at a pub in Charlestown, Co Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland.
The former Oasis frontman surprised punters at JJ Finan's pub on Sunday afternoon by joining local musicians in the bar where he played a few songs on his guitar. Footage of the gig has subsequently emerged online.
Gallagher performed what appeared to be a new song, which included the lyrics "Yes I know, I've been wrong/ Didn't do what I was told/ Yes I know I've been wrong/ Didn't do what I was told/ I ain't looking for no 9-5/ Sick of wasting all my precious time/ Cos it's alright /Cos it's alright now".
The song – which can be watched below - also appears to include a reference to brother Noel Gallagher’s latest solo album, 'Chasing Yesterday', with the lyric, "When I wake up and I hear you say/ There's no love worth chasing yesterday".
Reports earlier this year had suggested that Liam is working on his debut solo album, but these were subsequently dismissed by a spokesperson for the singer.

Arctic Monkeys
Kasabian
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Razorlight
The Libertines
Noel Gallagher has urged record labels to sign more working class bands.
The former Oasis man complains that since Arctic Monkeys emerged 10 years ago, there haven't been any great rock bands and the internet has had a negative impact.
He's now calling on labels to provide more support to new bands.
Speaking during an appearance on BBC Four's 'What Ever Happened To Rock 'N' Roll?', which airs this evening (July 23), he says: ''In theory the internet and YouTube should be helping new bands get off the ground but it hasn't - it's got worse. The record labels just aren't interested in working-class bands any more.
''[Rock'n'roll is not dead] as long as I'm still going, it's fucking not. It's there but it's certainly lacking the re-generation process.
''Since the Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Razorlight and The Libertines there has been nothing. You name me one band since them. So that's 10 years ago. So the evidence is that it is kind of in hibernation.''
Earlier this year Gallagher took a swipe at "shit" charts shows and mainstream radio, stating that if Oasis were starting out today they "would have nowhere near the impact" that they had in the '90s.
He told NME at the time: "If you're Number One in the charts now, it automatically means you must be shit. Bands now go cap-in-hand to the industry and the industry has already decided what it wants for the fucking chart stars. But the charts are all the fucking same. Every single song in the Top 10 is the same shit with a different voice."
