Liam Gallagher has started the Alex Ferguson-style mind games ahead of Man City's FA Cup semi-final against Man U by slating shop steward Gary Neville.
Asked about Mario Balotelli's antics by BBC Football Focus, the Beady Eye singer said: "What a geezer. I mean, all that throwing darts at people.
"That's not cool - a water balloon would have done. You know what I mean?
"But I like characters. If the world was full of f***ing Gary Neville's man, it would be bobbins, wouldn't it?
"He just looks like an estate agent."
He's got a point.
Foul-mouth Liam did defend the now retired Gary's former teammate Wayne Rooney though, after his four-letter rant into a TV camera.
The frontman said: "I don't know what the big fuss is about, you know.
"I suppose there's a lot of kids out there called Sebastian who will find it horrific that he's swearing down the camera.
"But it happens, young man."

"This is a top gaff," beams Liam Gallagher. "Never been here before. Look after it."
Once upon a time, you'd almost expect the former Oasis singer to be ripping the seats out of a venue rather than singing its praises.
It's back to basics for Beady Eye, starting in the mid-division rather than strutting their stuff in Whelan's. Amazingly, the crowd sings along to every song and there isn't a single audible request for Oasis.
Opening with 'Four Letter Word' and its mantra of "Nothing lasts forever", Gallagher is still leaning into his microphone and belting out the new songs with a voice that's astutely been compared to resting somewhere between Lennon and Lydon.
It doesn't all work. 'Millionaire' is a pointless dirge that would have best been left on the studio floor, but overall, Beady Eye peddle a neat line in catchy and energetic pop rock in the tradition of the Small Faces. It's derivative and won't appeal to any constituency outside hardcore Oasis and Liam fans, but it's undoubtedly effective.
The extended Gallagher family, bar Noel, are all in attendance. Liam's wife, Nicole Appleton, is also visibly enjoying her hubby's show from the guest boxes.
There are a few belters in the set, notably 'For Anyone', 'The Roller' and 'Standing on the Edge of Noise'. Admittedly, there isn't anything to match Oasis in their heyday, despite Liam's claim that 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' is better than 'Definitely Maybe'. It's certainly better than 'Standing on the Shoulder of Giants' or 'Be Here Now'.
They encore with a cover of 'Sons of the Stage' by Mancunian baggy band World of Twist, which I bought as a cassette single. Against all the odds, Liam's post-Noel career has got off to a respectable start.
He's still a great frontman, at one stage turning his back to the audience. This would be rude coming from most performers, but in the inimitable shape and swagger of a certain Liam Gallagher, it's mesmerising.

Upside Down
Oasis used to go on five-day drug binges.
The ‘Cigarettes and Alcohol’ rockers – who disbanded in August 2009 following a series of explosive rows between frontman Liam Gallagher and his brother, guitarist Noel Gallagher - were renowned for their hard partying in the 90s and their former record company boss, Creation head Alan McGee, said they partied harder than any of the other bands on the label, including Primal Scream.
Alan told Shortlist magazine: “With drugs and stuff Oasis were definitely the wildest. They were just intense. It was never one night with them – they’d start on a Friday and end on a Wednesday.”
Following the Oasis split, Liam, 38, recently revealed he has calmed his partying lifestyle for the sake of his three children.
He said: “In my pram I was a rock star. But I'm older now. I don't wanna grow up like a d**k. I don't want to get to 40 and embarrass my kids.
“I don't want to sound like a hippy but it's great. I run. With golf, I love making proper contact with that ball.
“I'm still on the fish. Sardines or salmon. Salad. I feel good. It's only the cigarettes that really stand in me way.”
Liam has since gone on to front Beady Eye, while Noel is working on his first solo album. -

Liam Gallagher threw a brat-like strop when he realised he might have to stay in the same hotel as brother Noel.
The feuding rocker was in Liverpool for a gig with his new band Beady Eye while Noel was watching Manchester City take on Liverpool.
The brothers were both booked into the swanky Hope Street Hotel.
However, proving their feud is still raging, Liam, 38, found out he was due to sleep under the same roof as Noel, 43, and lost it.
Our source said: “Liam wasn’t having any of it, he refused to check in and demanded to be moved to another hotel.”
Luckily for Liam, he managed to find a room across the city at the Beatles-themed Hard Days Night Hotel.
A hotel worker there told us: “We had to quickly get the penthouse suite ready for Liam. We didn’t know he was staying at the hotel until the last minute.
“He was nothing like what we expected, he was really polite.
“He just sat drinking herbal tea and eating biscuits, which wasn’t very rock star-like.”
After Liam and his bandmates played a storming set at the O2 Liverpool Academy, they headed off to an after-party at nightclub Heebie Jeebies.
A source there told us: “Liam stayed for an hour to lend support to his brother Paul who was DJing at the party.
“There were no wild antics in sight.
“He was just drinking orange juice most of the night before heading back to the hotel at around 1am.”
Boring.

Beady Eye performed the first night of their Irish Tour on Thursday April 14th 2011 live at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, and believe us when we say that it was a top notch gig! Dublin indie rockers Cheap Freaks got the crowd warmed up and they really know how to put on a show. Caught up in their own little bubble, they played their socks off while proving that they are a band worth keeping an eye on in 2011.
Liam Gallagher & Co. took to the stage at exactly 21:15 after the house music faded out – which consisted of The Jam, Sex Pistols and Stone Roses, to help arouse fans and set the atmosphere. The set opened up with Four Letter Word and Liams swagger towards the mic set the place alight with the lyrics “Sleepwalk away your life if that turns you on”. From that moment, there was no going back. Liam kept things cool with various poses and hands in pockets stating “This is the best venue I’ve ever played in anyway, and I’m not just saying that because I’m here.” The atmosphere was electric. Flowing through the album tracks such as Millionaire, The Roller, For Anyone and Bring The Light, Oasis was not even a thought on anyone’s mind – this is Beady Eye.
Liam’s confidence seeped through the crowd with Gem Archer and Andy Bell on either side, soaking up the rapturous applause. Music Scene was there with the likes of Michael O’Leary (Ryanair CEO) and Nicole Appleton (Liam’s Wife) in the box seats, and even these celebrities could not control themselves. As the gig came to a close with songs such as The Beat Goes On, Wigwam and the World Of Twist cover version, Sons Of The Stage, all attendees had officially been converted from Oasis fans to fully fledged Beady Eye fans. This is the start of something special and the ex Oasis members surely do have something to be proud of.

"The Hindu Times" is a song by English rock group Oasis, and was the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry on 15 April 2002. It was written by Noel Gallagher. Noel got the name "The Hindu Times" from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop. The song was the band's sixth UK #1 single, staying on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me".
The title has little to do with the lyrics of the song, which are more in the vein of Definitely Maybe's "Rock 'n' Roll Star". It has been speculated that the title refers to the main riffs' similarity to Indian music in sound, sounding as if they were played on a sitar. Gallagher himself says that it is because he had already named the song before any lyrics were written for it.
The song, which combines the powerful fast rock of their earlier work with the psychedelic feel of their later work, was one of the first Oasis singles since (What's the Story) Morning Glory to receive almost unanimously positive reviews from the critics. However, some fans have criticised the song, stating that the main guitar riff was lifted from the Stereophonics song, "Same Size Feet", which was released in 1997 on their Word Gets Around album and uses the exact same, or at least very similar, guitar riff.
The song was unveiled during Oasis' Autumn 2001 Noise and Confusion Tour. The song was due to be released commercially at the same time but Noel decided the track needed more work done on it to be suitable for release.
The B-side, "Just Getting Older", was written at the time of the release of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

The demo version of The Hindu Times is radically different from the finished album version. Most of the lyrics (sung by Noel) are different, and the slower sound of the song is much more "grungy", with a heavy drum loop running throughout the song. It is also a semitone higher in the demo.
