Oh, we do love it when Noel Gallagher gets on his high horse – it’s just so entertaining! And guess what’s got him riled today? Funnily enough, it’s the whole Russell Brand hoo-ha. Noel was a regular guest on Russell’s Radio 2 show and the pair have been close friends for a while, so it’s hardly surprising that he’s really annoyed. “I spoke to Russell, he told me he was going to fall on his sword,” says Noel. "Personally, I'm outraged that, yet again, the joyless fuckers who write the columns in the Daily Mail, The Telegraph or The Observer have dictated the tone and are telling people how to behave. I've seen the Daily Mail, they said that Russell should be arrested and charged. Arrested for what? For taking the piss?” Speaking on an Irish radio station, Noel also relished the opportunity to have another pop at English people even though he, er, is one. “It's so typical of the English in general,” he says. “10,000 people get outraged, but only days after it has happened. At worst it was a juvenile prank that wasn't unfunny but it's hardly offensive. I feel bad for Russ, 'cause he really loved doing the show. I loved being on it as well.” We’re glad Noel’s piped up, but we don’t think he should worry about Russell too much…
