Liam Gallagher criticises England footballers, Rolling Stones and U2

Liam Gallagher has criticised England footballers, The Rolling Stones and U2 ahead of Oasis' South American tour, calling the Stones' songs a pile of crap.

Yes, Liam Gallagher has been dissing people again, although, surprisingly, this time he seems to have done it with a minimum of swearing. Who's in the firing line this time? England footballers, Rolling Stones and U2.

On the England players, he's quoted by Ananova as saying: "I'm not one of those people who are that patriotic when it comes to the England team. I think that if you play direct football and deserve to win, you win. At times the England players seem to play like women. Beckham and others, they're gay boys."

Meanwhile, he was asked about recent South American visitors The Stones and U2 on the eve of Oasis' own South American tour. On The Rolling Stones, he said: "They're the biggest bands in the world, without doubt. The Stones are big. They fill stadiums and they're in tune with the times. I respect them but their songs are a pile of crap."

He continued: "As for U2, I don't understand what they're doing. They're not rock stars - for me, they don't say a lot. They don't seem like normal people."
