Liam Gallagher: 'Oasis Split Has Galvanised Manchester City'

Liam Gallagher has claimed that Oasis' split has had a positive impact on the form of his football club, Manchester City.

The Premier League team have enjoyed a change in fortunes in recent months, and currently sit fifth in the league.

Life-long Manchester City fan Gallagher said the team's success had made Oasis' split last year easier to deal with.

"When Oasis were doing well, City were doing shit, “ Gallagher told the Daily Mirror.

“But now we've split, City are doing good. Maybe there's some good times ahead with City, and that'll take the pain of the band splitting off a bit."

Gallagher is currently recording his first album with his new band, which have yet to be given a name.

Meanwhile, his brother, Noel, is set to play two solo gigs at London's Royal Albert Hall this month on behalf of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
