Liverpool had the greatest season in their entire life and they still came second &#8211; it&#8217;s too funny!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think Liverpool will get near us. I don&#8217;t think anybody does. As long as Guardiola stays we will win the league every year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the last laugh is with Liverpool and their fans as City are currently 23 points behind champions Liverpool, after losing to Chelsea last night.<\/p>\n<p>Gallagher also told Sky Sports at the time: &#8220;If you were to ask me if you would rather win the Premier League or Champions League? The Premier League every single time. It&#8217;s the benchmark of greatness,\u201d seemingly having a dig at Liverpool for having great Europe success but not much league success in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>But, in Noels defence, he did admit last month that the league should be cancelled due to Coronavirus, and Liverpool were worthy champions, and should be automatically crowned.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Liverpool just winning the league, some bookies have odds in the favour of Manchester City winning next season. I guess we\u2019ll have to see if Liverpool can do the double over other teams, or another top England team can re claim the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noel Gallagher, former singer\/songwriter for the band oasis, has been a lifelong Manchester City fan. &nbsp; \u00a0 He\u2019s often seen at city matches, and talks about the team a lot &#8211; it\u2019s clear he\u2019s an avid fan of the blues.
