Liam Gallagher hits out at Liverpool, says Oasis put The Beatles “on the map”

Liam Gallagher has hit out at Liverpool, claiming that it was Oasis who helped put The Beatles “back on the map”.

The Oasis frontman has been at odds with Liverpool FC supporters for days now on Twitter/X, following his beloved Manchester City being found guilty by the Premier League of 114 out of 115 charges accusing the team of serious breaches of financial rules.

Após a grande resposta às acusações do mundo do futebol, Liam se manifestou em defesa da equipe na plataforma de mídia social – acusando outros grandes times, incluindo Liverpool e Arsenal, de serem “corrupt”.

All this hatred directed at MAN CITY from other clubs should be directed at ARSENAL MAN UTD LIVERPOOL there the 1s who are corrupt and trying to stop other teams from winning things not MAN CITY were trying to help you all out were like Jesus prepared to die on the cross.

Unsurprisingly the tweet sparked a big response, and now the Britpop icon has doubled down on the comments, and taken a swipe at The Beatles and the city of Liverpool along the way.

Todos esses Scousers que me dão e à minha banda merda, OASIS fez mais pelo município de Liverpool do que eles jamais farão. OASIS colocou os BEATLES de volta no mapa, do qual eles, sem dúvida, lucram diretamente.

It goes without saying that the comments quickly sparked backlash from other users, with many rushing to defend The Beatles’ legacy and argue that their impact on the music industry was bigger than Gallagher suggested.

Oasis put The Beatles back on the map"? The sheer arrogance! Pretty sure their legacy doesn't need a boost from the Gallagher brothers. The closest Oasis will ever get to the Fab Four is when Noel sang on The Chemical Brothers' Setting Sun and Let Forever Be.

TBF Liam if it wasn’t for the Beatles you’d be working in Home Bargains.

Oasis have done nothing for this city compared to what the Beatles have done, what a weird post.

Eles nunca ficaram fora do mapa. E eu digo isso como não sendo um fã de verdade dos Beatles.

While most were quick to call out Liam for the comments, a few others were more open to his claims, with one writing: “I think there is some truth to it. Oasis introduced many people to the Beatles just by talking about them.”.

After Oasis I started buying Beatles albums.”.

The Beatles were seen as uncool late 70's and through the 80's. You could argue that their rehabilitation came when the Britpop acts in the mid-1990s openly cited them, and the 1995 Anthology project put the catalogue and the surviving members back in front of a new audience.

Reports that the commission hearing the long-running case had ruled against City on all but one of the alleged breaches emerged at the end of September. No punishment has yet been decided for the club, who maintain their innocence and have appealed.

Na época, Liam postou no X e respondeu ao jornalista Ben Jacobs, que havia divulgado a notícia do veredicto de culpa em 114 das 115 acusações. “Get your OASIS tickets bought and stop talking out your fucking arse you UNKBUBBLE,” ele escreveu.

Noel Gallagher also spoke out following the news, making an appearance on the Manchester City podcast Let Me Talk, and admitting he was taken aback after years of assurances from the club that they had done nothing wrong.

He described hearing the verdict as “a bit of a shock”, adding that he felt “sad for the fans and for the players”.

When asked whether the ruling changed how he viewed iconic moments in the club’s recent history – including Sergio Agüero’s last-gasp goal that secured the 2011/12 Premier League title – Noel said supporters could only judge what they had witnessed on the pitch.

Caso as descobertas relatadas sobrevivam ao recurso do City, as punições disponíveis variam de multas e deduções de pontos até a expulsão da Premier League.

Liam e Noel Gallagher têm acompanhado o City há décadas, e manchetes recentes incluíram a celebração deles juntos no Wembley depois que o City venceu o Arsenal por 2-0 para conquistar a Carabao Cup.

Noel’s ties to the club also extend beyond the stands, with him designing the font used on City’s 2024/25 cup kits and collaborating with the club on a ‘Definitely Maybe’-inspired ‘Definitely City’ collection in the past.

Next year, the band are set to head out on their ‘Live ’27’ tour, which includes 11 shows at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium over the summer.
