Liam Gallagher's recent comments about Liverpool, Scousers and the Beatles have sparked strong reactions on social media. The Mancunian singer took aim at the city and its people earlier today (October 6), prompting some fans to hit back by branding Oasis a "Temu" version of the band.
The 54-year-old has been at odds with Liverpool FC fans for days on X (formerly Twitter) after he suggested the team, among other Premier League teams, were "corrupt".
Rantings begin after Man City verdict
The rantings began after Manchester City were found guilty by an independent commission of 114 of the 115 charges they were accused of. After the response from fans, Liam took to X to suggest their hatred was misdirected.
On October 2, he said: "All this hatred directed at Man City from other clubs should be directed at Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. They're the ones who are corrupt and trying to stop other teams from winning things not Man City. We're trying to help you all out, we're like Jesus prepared to die on the cross."
Latest swipe at Scousers
Liam, who is often vocal and keen to interact with fans on X, has been discussing the matter - among others - for days. In his latest statement, he has taken a swipe at the city of Liverpool, Scousers and even the Beatles, branding Scousers "ungrateful".
He said: "All these Scousers giving me and my band s***, Oasis have done more for the city of Liverpool than they will ever do. Oasis put the Beatles back on the map which they no doubt directly profit from, ungrateful little sods MCFC LG x."
Social media backlash
The comments didn't go down well on social media with many jumping to defend the city and the Beatles. Facebook user Michael Sheerin said: "He's obsessed with us, even called his son Lennon."
Graham Stingfellow claimed Liam was inspired by the band, writing: "Yeah the man who modelled himself after them." Jane Stimpson simply put: "Temu Beatles."
Helen Kerr praised the great city of Liverpool and its musical legacy, writing: "I think most folk of a certain will have a great fondness for Liverpool, as a Scottish wee lassie in the 60s, I would have gave my eye teeth to go there and listen to the fabulous music that came out that fantastic city."
Patricia Paddock said: "He's jealous of Liverpool's magnetism and popularity." Brian Mooney said: "Let's hope he is doesn't looking back in anger after this weekend's match."
Susan Jones asked: "Who the hell does he think he is!" Carolyn Hillier said: "Jealousy is a terrible thing, Liam."
Oasis tour sold out
Oasis announced on Instagram at 4pm on September 14 that they would be heading out on tour in 2027. The band later added four new dates to their tour including extra nights at Knebworth, with tickets now sold out.
After the tour sold out, Liam said: "That's all folks we have officially sold out no more tickets left congratulations to everyone who got a ticket and to the people who didn't, sneak in f*** it yolo." The band said in a separate post: "Tickets for Oasis Live '27 have now sold out. See you in 2027!"
