Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher fires double Liverpool jibe and names Man City's truest rival

Former Oasis frontman and Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has fired two jibes at Liverpool ahead of the Premier League season.

The popular singer-songwriter has claimed the Reds have overtaken Manchester United as the club's main rivals but has taken a swipe at Jurgen Klopp's side.

In an interview with Sky Sports the musician said: "I think we will win four [titles in a row]. I can't see anyone getting anywhere near us next season.

"Liverpool had the greatest season in their entire life and they still came second - it's too funny!

"I don't think Liverpool will get near us. I don't think anybody does. As long as Guardiola stays we will win the league every year."

Gallagher was in the dressing room as celebrated reclaiming the Premier League title victory in May.

And when asked who are City's truest rivals the 52-year-old admitted: "They [Manchester United] are not our rivals anymore. They were for about a half hour but they are irrelevant now.

"UEFA. You have to say Liverpool because they are so far ahead of everyone else. They are the champions of Europe and we are the back-to-back champions of England.

"If we were to play Liverpool 20 times in a row then we would win 18 and draw the other two.

"Tottenham? Sorry who? Spurs? Who are they? The best thing about Tottenham is their stadium, which is amazing."
