Oasis singer Gallagher rocks up after City win

ROCK star Liam Gallagher, one of Manchester City's staunchest fans, gave an impromptu press conference to amused reporters after City's 1-0 win over United.

Wearing sunglasses and beaming a huge smile, the often irascible former frontman of Oasis was in party mood, saying: "What do you want to know lads? ... top of the league. Well done City."

He said he spent some time with Diego Maradona during the match - Maradona was there to watch his son-in-law Sergio Aguero play for City - and then joked that he loved City manager Roberto Mancini. "I love him, he's so cool, he's almost as cool as me," he said to ripples of laughter.

City's Belgian captain and goal scorer Vincent Kompany walked into the media room where Gallagher hugged him, shouting, "Viva La Belgium" before walking off with his arm around the player.
