Noel Gallagher has defended not joining in with the Poznan at Manchester City’s match against Fulham last weekend, after his brother Liam called it “poor behaviour”.The former Oasis member attended last Saturday’s away game (May 11), which saw his beloved football team clinch a 4-0 win and move closer to the top of the Premier League table.But unlike the huge sea of Man City fans surrounding him, Gallagher refused to join in with the Poznan (where fans link arms, turn away from the pitch and begin bouncing).Images and videos of the moment subsequently went viral, with some people suggesting that the unimpressed-looking Gallagher could have been shooting the cover art for his next album.The High Flying Birds frontman’s estranged brother and former bandmate Liam also called out his “poor behaviour” in a post on X/Twitter.Noel has since spoken out about being spotted at the game during an interview with talkSport.
