Noel Gallagher Meets Mario Balotelli

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has urged Mario Balotelli to take heed of Italy coach Cesare Prandelli's warning over his behaviour... as rock and roll star Noel Gallagher turned up at Carrington to greet the cult hero.

Gallagher dedicated a song at his O2 Arena show in London last weekend to the controversial Italian and the pair hit it off as they met at City's training headquarters.

Speaking last month, the songwriter and City fan said: 'OK, he's a footballer, but I bet if he picked up an instrument he’d be amazing.

'He restores your faith in human nature! I’m so proud he’s playing for Man City. You see him when he’s not in his football kit and you just think, ‘He fucking looks cool as f**k! He's a total rock'n'roller.'

And Mancini's warning comes after Balotelli was left out of the squad for Italy's international friendly defeat by the United States this week with Prandelli publicly citing the player's indiscipline as a reason.

The 21-year-old has been sent off twice for City this season and missed eight games through suspension, although three of them were a European ban hanging over from last year.

Noel Gallagher On Tevez, Manchester United And More

Noel Gallagher May Turn His Godlike Genius To Gardening

NME’s 2012 Godlike Genius Noel Gallagher, has revealed to Absolute Radio that if and when he ever quits making music, he’ll “go and do some gardening or something.”

Speaking before the awards in London last night, the former Oasis star was in a typically modest mood when talking about his nomination in other categories. With his new project Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds receiving nominations in several categories, including Best Solo Artist, Best Moment and Hero of the Year, he was one of the most nominated artists at the bash.

Correctly predicting that he wouldn’t win Best Album, Noel generously addded: “it’s a travesty because I’m better than most people here”. But then what do you expect from someone who ” knew from a very early age” that he was a Godlike Genius!

Still, by the star’s own admission, “It’s been an incredible six or seven months, you know.” He continued: “I never thought I’d sell as many records and I never thought I’d get all these awards or play at the Brits and all that, but yeah, what can I say?… As long as I enjoy it I’ll do it, and when I stop enjoying it I’ll go and do some gardening or something, but I genuinely enjoy the process of writing songs and doing all this, I love all this… it’s great, it’s a great gig.”

He added: "He's one of the greatest living rock stars and he's a real tribute to Britain. He's still relevant and he's still cool! The bands all here today wouldn't be here without him, so he's important."
