David Beckham On Oasis, The Stone Roses And Manchester

David Beckham has said that he had to keep his love of Oasis a secret while at Manchester United because it was 'frowned upon' as the majority of the band supported Manchester City.

He told SoccerBible “I used to go to the odd Oasis gig even though it was frowned upon them being City fans and me being a United fan and a United player. But being in Manchester in the nineties, it was just part of the culture.”

He added that he regularly meets up with Noel Gallagher, as well as members of The Stone Roses.

“I loved those bands, but as soon as we’re together all we talk about is football and it’s the first thing they want to talk about. I sit with Noel and all he wants to talk about is how crap United were and how great City are. Same with Browny and a couple of the other guys. Mani is such a massive United fan. He loves a chat. He doesn’t struggle with words. All he ever wants to talk about is the youth team, reserve team, ‘99’.”

“The nineties were such a massive moment for Manchester culture, and that’s when I discovered how much I loved the music.”

Noel Gallagher On Losing His Phone In A Taxi

The former Oasis star panicked after realising he had left his mobile in a taxi after Wednesday’s BRIT Awards.

And its contents could land him in trouble.

Arriving at the Sony after party, Noel said: “I’ve lost my f****ing phone, I have tried calling it and it’s actually gone. I have no idea where it is!

“I better find it because of all the f****ing porn on it, don’t want that to get out and splashed everywhere. I can’t have that out, it will ruin my image of being an innocent, wholesome pop star.”

Noel innocent? Ha!

The rocker then made a not-too-subtle reference to the recent expose of David Beckham’s emails, revealing his desperation to become a Sir.

Noel quipped: “I can kiss goodbye to my knighthood, that won’t happen after someone picks up my phone.”

Becks obviously has Noel’s full support as later he partied with his eldest son Brooklyn, left, who is nursing a broken collarbone.

Still on the lemonade – well he is 17 – Brooklyn is close pals with his daughter Anais but Noel keeps an eye on him.

Noel also partied with Simon Cowell, who once offered him £2million to become a judge on The X Factor.

Things could have been awkward when the guitarist bumped into Ed Sheeran at the Warner party later, after criticising his brand of “polished pop”.

But, instead, the duo shared a Ciroc Vodka together.

After all Anais is a fan of Ed too!

Liam Gallagher Posed For Photos With Fans At The Stone Roses Gig In Manchester Yesterday

Liam posed for photos with delighted fans watching the band at the Etihad Stadium.

Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher caused a stir among fans as he turned up in Manchester yesterday to watch The Stone Roses.

The Live Forever and Wonderwall singer delighted revellers turning out to watch the Roses at the Etihad Stadium by posing for photographs.

In one cheeky snap he was seen licking a window as a fan looks on. In other photos he showed off a rather splendid colourful coat, his hair grown back into his trademark longer style.

One fan enthused in a photo shared on Instragram: “En route to the Roses and I meet this legend!”

Another fan, while pointing at Liam, says: “So this happened.”

Fans spread the word on Twitter that he was in town to see the Waterfall hitmakers, who play their final gig at the Etihad tonight, saying: “It’s official - Liam Gallagher is in Manchester to see The Stone Roses.”

Another tweeted: “First time in Manchester and I meet Liam Gallagher. Excited for the Stone Roses tonight. Everything is looking up.”

And even if they didn’t meet the actual Liam Gallagher, some fans thought they might have done, with one tweeting: “It’s hard to try and spot Liam Gallagher at a Stone Roses gig at the Etihad when everybody looks like Liam Gallagher. #stoneroses.”

Liam wasn’t the only Manc legend in town to watch the Stone Roses. Former Manchester United player David Beckham was there on Wednesday night.

Before playing This Is The One, Ian Brown announced to the crowd “This one is dedicated to Mr Beckham.”

After the show David and his 17-year-old son Brooklyn popped out for a curry in Longsight.

So this happened #liamgallagher #oasis

Noel Gallagher Hates The Idea Of His Daughter Dating Boys

Noel Gallagher has never been shy of giving his opinion on, well anything. But it seems there’s one topic he’d rather keep left alone.

His daughter Anais Gallagher has been off partying with David Beckham’s sprog, Brooklyn for his 17th birthday and the aspiring model opened up about dad’s stance on her dating.

Speaking to The Sun she said: "My dad has never given me the birds and the bees chat and doesn't talk to me about boys. He's always, 'I don't want to talk about it'. I remember when me and my stepmum would be talking about boys and he would be like, 'Stop'. He just doesn't want to know."

The 16 year old who ran the Brit Awards Instagram account during the ceremony last month explained that her parents would prefer it if she found a job out of the limelight.

She explained: "My dad would have preferred me not to do anything in the spotlight and have a normal job. My parents are supportive but they have definitely got different ways of tackling parenting.

"It's not their first choice for me but my dad definitely wouldn't want me to go into music. If you have ever heard me sing or play an instrument you would appreciate that."

Although he shies away from chatting about boys, apparently Noel is quite the history buff and Anais’ first port of call when she’s stuck on her homework.

Speaking to The Mirror Anais said: “My dad is really into World War 1 and 2. He is the most crazy history fanatic – he knows everything.”

David Beckham Looks Far From Happy As He Poses With Noel Gallagher

David Beckham had to turn his back at the sight of Noel Gallagher’s giant Manchester City flag — after attending one of his gigs.

The former Manchester United ace was attending a show of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds at the Royal Albert Hall.

Gallagher and his former Oasis brother band-mate Liam are famous City fans and have owned corporate boxes at the club for years.

But after sitting through the gig in London, 40-year-old Beckham took exception to Gallagher’s choice of flag.

He posted on Instagram: “Amazing evening only disappointment from the night was the colour of this flag... Cheers Noel if only it had been RED.”

Noel Gallagher And David Beckham Enjoy A Night Out In New York

David Beckham and Noel Gallagher put aside their club allegiances to share a three-course meal with friends at plush pizza restaurant Lucali in New York this week.

Becks is currently over in the States, having delivered a passionate speech at the United Nations in the Big Apple on Thursday, urging world leaders to do more to help help disadvantaged children.

The former Manchester United midfielder posted a photo of him with his hand on the shoulder of the former Oasis lead guitarist, who is an impassioned Manchester City supporter, with the caption: 'Another great night at Lucali. Thanks to Mark and the girls'.

Appearing on an episode of The Graham Norton Show earlier this year, Beckham revealed he was a self-confessed fan of the Manchester rock band and agreed to appear in the next music video for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

'Obviously there's a big Manchester divide between United and City, but when I used to play for England I remember Noel being at one of the games and I went up to him and shook his hand, so of course I'll be in one of your videos,' he said on the chat show.

It is not known whether the pair have acted upon this revelation, but the former England captain would appear to at least be working on his budding friendship with Gallagher at the popular neighbourhood eatery.

Beckham looked in the mood to unwind after a busy week in which he gave a speech at the launch of Voices of Youth, a global community of youth bloggers giving young people the opportunity to learn about development issues.

Noel Gallagher Says David Beckham Should Take Up Songwriting When He Retires

Noel Gallagher has said that David Beckham should take up songwriting now that he has retired from football.

The former England and Manchester United player confirmed that he will stop playing football at the end of this season having rejected a chance to continue playing with Paris St Germain into 2014. Speaking to ITV News about Beckham's next career move while at the Ivor Novello Awards yesterday (May 16), Gallagher said: "Songwriting".

He added: "He's had a great career and played for some of the most iconic clubs in world football. He could probably go into management one day, as long as it's not (Manchester) City."

The former Oasis member also said he "hated" Beckham when he played for United, but has since become friends with the sportsman. "I hated him when he played for United. Hated him. Hate. Proper hate. But luckily I met him when he'd left United and he's such a nice lad and he's a brilliant footballer."

Noel Gallagher, The Maccabees and Alt-J all picked up major awards at this year's Ivor Novellos in London with Gallagher collecting the award for Outstanding Song Collection, which was presented to him by Kinks singer Ray Davies. The former Oasis member thanked "my publishers, who I've only just met after 20 years – Sony, apparently," to guffaws of laughter from the industry audience. He dedicated the award to his wife, who, he said, once told him she'd never seen him write any songs. "This is proof that I do," he said.

He said: “Even if we don’t get to the World Cup – it’s still best to get some young lads in now.

“You might as well go and ask Alan Shearer to play – you’ve got to move forward at some point.

“He’s not been picked for England because for the last few years he’s been on the wane.”

Noel Gallagher, Prince Harry, David Beckham, Karl Pilkington Make Cool Countdown

It’s official: Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams and Plan B are amongst the coolest men in Britain!

Readers of ZOO Magazine voted in their thousands in the publication’s annual ‘Britain’s Coolest Man’ poll with the results being unveiled today.

Former Oasis guitarist/songwriter is the highest ranked music star at number 11 ahead of Robbie Williams in 16th spot. Rapper turned soul singer and movie star Plan B sneaked in at number 20.

However, they were all trumped by boxer Carl Froch who stormed in at number one ahead of Prince Harry and Hollywood actor Tom Hardy.

35-year-old Froch commented: “It’s an honour and a privilege! I’m surprised Jason Statham didn’t win, though.

“I can see why Prince Harry is runner-up. He got rumbled for stripping off and having a laugh in Vegas recently, but who cares? He’s a soldier, puts his time in and lads take to him.”

ZOO Editor Damien McSorley added: “Carl Froch is well worthy of the title, Britain's Coolest Man 2013, having elevated himself to become Britain's leading boxer.

“Carl is a people's champion; a home-grown, self-made success story, who remains down-to-earth, outspoken and close to his Nottingham roots.”

The 20 coolest men in Britain, according to ZOO Magazine, are as follows:

1. Carl Froch
2. Prince Harry
3. Tom Hardy
4. David Beckham
5. Bradley Wiggins
6. Idris Elba
7. Daniel Craig
8. Jack Whitehall
9. Jason Statham
10. Tubes

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Sixty Nine

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Comrades . . . this will be a long one.

So, the last time we spoke was when? 2 weeks ago? Must have been? Was it? Hang on . . . let me check . . . that's right . . . it was the night before the festival in Belgium. OK . . . right I'll get my thinking cap on and give you the lo-down (as best I can anyway!).

So . . . I remember the festival being quite a big one. Massive crowd. Big guns headlining. Think it was them Red Hot Chilli Peppers on my night (yes it was!). The show itself was OK. Not bad. It certainly broke the run of amazing shows that's for sure. The best thing about it was I was introduced onstage by Vincent Kompany, Manchester City's captain. He's from Brussels see? And me and him were going to do the launch of the new Manchester City kits for next season. Both of these occurrences were a true honour. Vinnie's a top boy. Might actually be the coolest lad on the planet. We hung out after the show and watched the Euro Championship final. Happy days!!

The next day I had to be up early to do the football kit thing. Hadn't actually gone to bed 'till 4am so I wasn't feeling (or looking!) the best. Vinnie on the other hand had managed an early night and turned up looking like the super-cool, well oiled athlete he is. I on the other hand stunk of cig's and alcohol looking every bit like the 45yr old father of 3 that I am. Not good. Not good at all. In all my time in this game that might have been the single most difficult thing I've ever had to do.

At one point I think I was sweating pure alcohol. Imagine doing that while one of your heroes looks down on you and asks if you're alright, while a photographer snaps away asking you if "you could just get a bit closer?" Did it though and the kit looks the bollocks.

So, after that I remember we flew to Montreux in Switzerland for a show at the "Montreux Jazz Festival"!! That's right, you heard . . . "the Montreux JAZZ Festival". Not sure what I was doing there but a gig's a gig and what a gig!! A right good laugh and all. And I got presented (on stage which was a bit weird) with a very expensive watch by the founder of the festival Mr. Claude Nobs (pronounced CLOUD NEBZ). Worth €3000!! Or so he informed the audience anyway. Thanks very much Mr.Nobs . . . just what I've always wanted . . . my very own jazz watch!!

After that we drove overnight to Milan. I love Milan and Italy in general. Weather was mad hot. Must've been nearly 100 onstage!! Not as hot as Coachella but proper sizzling all the same. Show was alright. Nothing more, nothing less. I remember being taken out for dinner after to some swanky footballery type gaff. Very nice it was too . . . Beckham used to go there I'm told.

So . . . after that would have been T In the Park? Yes, I think so!! Horrific weather. Dark black clouds. Torrential rain, rain, rain. Mud every-fucking-where. Horrible . . . and that was just BACKSTAGE!!! Lord only knows what it was like out front? Still (and this is truly amazing) it never spoiled the atmosphere. The crowd up there are something else. Unbelievable behaviour. Well done!

We had a great show bar a couple of hic-ups here and there but we smashed it!! We were on before the Stone Roses. It was great to see them AND to see them enjoying themselves. A great night all round.

After that we flew to Birmingham to do a little acoustic gig for that radio station Kerrang!! That's right, you heard. A heavy metal radio station. Don't ask . . . I didn't. It was good though.

So . . . after that we flew here to the south of France. Fucking plane was full of young people (off on their holidays one would imagine). Giggling girls and boys with sideways haircuts and girls jeans on . . . that's what it looked like to me anyway.

I think that's about it. Got a festival tonight. A big one . . . it must be big 'cause the mighty Franz Ferdinand are headlining!! What was that?? Of course they're still going!!!!

ONWARDS.

GD.
