Liam the angry dog 🐕 (Noel's interview, NME, 17/01/2015)
The last time Noel saw Liam was at the Etihad Stadium on May 11 last year, the day Manchester City won the Premier League.
“I was in the directors box, obviously, and he was outside selling burgers, and one of the directors asked if I wanted to go on the pitch with the team, and I was like, ‘Fucking yeah’, so I went on the pitch and in the tunnel before.
I said to [club captain] Vincent Kompany, ‘Give us your armband’, and he gave me it, so I was wearing it in the bar afterwards, and I was sitting there talking to somebody, and someone came up behind me and tried to take the armband off and I was like, ‘Fucking get off of it’, and it was Liam.
And he was like, ‘Fucking hell, man, you knobhead, you shouldn't have that, I should fucking have that.’ And that's how it started. And I was like, ‘Oh yeah, alright, and how are you?’ Every time I see him he is still being a bit of a fucking cheeky cunt. And he's still putting out the persona of the angry barking dog.”
He is an angry barking dog, though, isn't he?
“He is, I mean... when I was doing those interviews in Germany it was after the Beady Eye thing, and one of them said, (German accent again) ‘I interviewed your brother about two years ago – why is he so angry?’, and I'm like, ‘I don't fucking know, mate.’ They said, ‘He was pacing around the room shouting, banging glasses’, and I was like, ‘Wow, fucking hell, what did you say to him?’, and he said, ‘Well, I don't know, I just said, “How is your brother?”’ Ha ha!”
