Noel Gallagher talks to Ian Wright about music and football

Football mad Noel Gallagher joins Arsenal legend Ian Wright in the Absolute Radio studios for a chat about music, his beloved Manchester City, his love of controversial striker Mario Balotelli and his desire to become the next England manager!

[@busybee4436]

I have to confess: I know nothing about football. I only watch these football themed interviews to see/hear Noel. How I adore this man.

Bussy mate think ur a bit obsessed

I'm not into sport, but I'll listen to Noel talk about anything ♡♡

[@GreasyBelcher]

Thought this might be a recent interview, then they started talking about Man United challenging for the title.

Brilliant

[@foxylady9232]

Irish stress and inflection in his speech is lovely. Lovely the way he speaks with his eyes and the leftrightleftright head twitch. IfJoyce was born in Manchester in the 60s. .........

[@stanmonzon5788]

Ian Wright?

[@bhhbbh3]

Noel is an absolute legend...brilliant songwriter! Funny him telling Wrighty that the press are "just like me and you...they've never played the game...".

Stop slagging him off aye ! If h wanna talk football he can

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

Funny how 11 years ago they were still talking about Harry being wanted by big clubs, and Tottenham having to hold him. Took the lad 10 years to finally leave a not-winning club. No one in Spurs should ever take that out on him. He's a legend, like Shearer was with Newcastle, even without silverware.

No mate, Champions of Europe, Brilliant Team

7 years later and Mario is about to sign for a Serie B side in Italy. So, yeah Noel, he ain't ever gonna win the Golden boot!!

[@mrkipling2201]

What helped give him that bit of edge when he was young ultimately hindered his career and he doesn’t even play for the Série B team now, Brescia.

[@wldnjs1998]

Name one of their songs that sound like anything the Beatles would have wrote. Did Definitely maybe sound like a Beatle's album?

[@nox4298]

@TheGooners11 how wrong can you be, tell me how does he steal "everything"? Do you honestly think if they stole everything they wouldn't get sued for it?

[@joshpemberton8128]

Cultists of Neptune the riff of shaker maker is I’d like to teach the world to sing Cigarettes and alcohol is esssentially T Rex get it on. I love Noel and to me he is a genius in terms of some of his melodies and no doubt he created some of the anthems of the 90s and his solo stuff is great. But he’s never made a secret of being inspired by the Beatles and he admits that some riffs he did steal

[@PaulieD1984]

@@joshpemberton8128 sorry to chime in 2 years later but there isn't any oasis song that specifically sounds like a whole beatles song fair enough DLBIA has imagine at the start but goes in a different direction and the outri of she's electric sounds similar to A little help from my friends.....Noel seems to have this knack of taking one specific part of a song and turning it into something else he can get 2 or 3 different songs from someone else's riff or melody....check out Confrontation camp by soundtrack of our lives it sounds like Lyla and Lord don't slow me down

Don’t say that.

[@ph1lo]

"I try not to swear much" Fuck up Noel, was only a couple a weeks ago you where talking about swearing a lot! haha

[@hanigan000]

People who say that just show themselves to have no idea what theyre talking about. If youre doing comparisons, Oasis were more like The Who then The Beatles. I'd love to hear why you think they copied The Beatles anyway to see if thats actually your own opinion or youre just echoing what someone else said to you once. Nothing worse than received wisdom.

[@chelsea3591]

Chelsea are appalling Noel? No I dont think so mate, Champions of Europe!!

[@DavyRo]

There was only one team that took 4 points off City last season & it wasn't any of your over hyped bunch of foreigners that done it,the only reason City got 1 point was 2 lucky goals in the last few minutes.Just watch Sunderland this season,we'll get no coverage at all from the press boys but we'll stick it right up the so called big boys in at least one game this season.

"They're just like me and you , they never played the game" ermmm....Noel...Ian Wright played the game....Oh well , I guess even God himself makes mistakes

[@j.lethal5174]

Most of the Beatles songs sound like "Don't Look back in Anger" by Oasis! Hence, most of the Beatles sound like Oasis, NOT Oasis sounding like the Beatles... That's preposterous!

[@briane5706]

J.Lethal How can Beatles songs written 20 years BEFORE Oasis songs sound like Oasis songs. Gallagher, like most musicians who have followed the Beatles, has been influenced by Lennon/McCartney and Harrison.

[@prideofmanny2981]

@@briane5706 are you thick or summat fella

[@briane5706]

@@prideofmanny2981 Oasis songs are influenced by Beatles songs. Many modern artists will say they are influenced by Noel Gallagher. Understandable as Noel is a great songwriter.

[@prideofmanny2981]

@@briane5706 we all know that fella. What im saying is you clearly didn't get the memo. He MEANS "theres only 1 or 2 oasis songs that actually sound like beatles songs, so in a way it sounds like beatles songs are inspired by oasis" obviously they aren't but it sounds like it. And no, not a lot of oasis songs sound like the Beatles, they just look like the beatles and theres a few refrences, so dont start

[@briane5706]

@@prideofmanny2981 Not starting anything. Oasis was THE band in their time, more so than Blur etc. Great songs throughout. My favourite video of “The Importance of Being Idle” is very much inspired by The Kinks “Dead End Street” . Rhys Ifans was brilliant in it. I have a lot of time for Noel Gallagher, less so Liam. That all may change though if Man City sign the best player at my club. Harry Kane may not be “one of our own” much longer! Love and peace.
