Portuguese star “can’t afford” the Manchester band

Yesterday, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that he is a huge Oasis fan, and even went as far as saying the Manchester City-supporting rockers were even better than the Beatles.

Ronny would like to see the band play in concert, but is evidently not too keen on sharing an arena with people who are not fabulously wealthy, famous or prostitutes. Hence, he offered the band tickets to El Clásico in exchange for a ‘private concert’.

At last night’s iTunes Festival gig at the Roundhouse, Oasis head honcho Noel Gallagher was delighted to hear that C-Ron’s iPod contains more than Phil Collins and Sade:

Portuguese star loves Manchester City’s most famous fans

Much like Cristiano Ronaldo, Noel and Liam Gallagher aren’t famed for their modesty. Yet the swaggering Oasis stars would happily admit that their band is immensely inferior to their biggest influence and primary source of material, The Beatles.

The Real Madrid winger and pop aficionado, however, believes the Manchester band are actually better than the Fab Four:

“Liverpool have The Beatles and Manchester have Oasis. I think we (Manchester) have the better band.

“I have all the Oasis albums [Even Standing on the Shoulder of Giants? Seriously? - Ed.] but my favourite track by far is Champagne Supernova. It’s an absolute classic.

“One thing I will miss about Manchester is Oasis.

“I will be honest, I didn’t even know who they were when I first arrived in Manchester, but you can’t live there long without knowing who they are.

“The lads in the dressing room loved them, especially the English boys.

“When I came to England I was into my techno, but I think Oasis are one of my favourite bands now.”

The Spoiler is a big Oasis fan, but to suggest they are better than The Beatles is a bit like saying a light bulb is better than the sun, or that an MK Dons supporter is better than a fan of a proper team that wasn’t unlawfully pillaged from elsewhere. Perhaps the tricky winger - who has already proved his exceptional taste in music - is merely trying to wind up Merseyside.

Such is his love of the Brit rockers, Ronaldo even proposed

Gary Lineker, Ringo Starr

The Spoiler is torn, one half of the hundred-strong team says these two are the same guy, the other fifty are completely livid, saying they can’t see it at all.

But what do you think?

On another note, apparently Lineker is engaged to Danielle Bux. We’ve snuck in a steamy picture of her after the jump…

The latest Hollyoaks beauty to find happiness with a ‘baller

Contrary to popular belief, Emma Rigby does not wait at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. That was Eleanor. She does, however, showcase her acting skills alongside Tuesday’s WOTD Jennifer Metcalfe on Hollyoaks.

The pictures above were snapped while she was on holiday in Dubai with boyfriend Matt Mills, the Manchester City defender who is currently serving time at Doncaster Rovers.

All the big news written down in a list

Something about Paul McCartney taking his Beatle’s stage show to Anfield suggests that people all over Europe might be standing back and hailing Liverpool as the European Capital of Culture around thirty or forty years too late. That said, anyone who doesn’t erupt into tears at the thought of drunk Liverpudlians weeping Yesterday in their thousands should be seriously investigated. In other moving news…

Mark Hughes to Manchester City
Suddenly everyone wants Mark Hughes to take care of their boys - first Abramovich, now these guys. His white hair demands respect, but could a man destined to manage United really do a job at City?

The Spoiler Truth-o-meter: Surely not.

Michael Essien to Inter Milan
Of course, everyone has been bigging up the chances of Lampsie, Drog-drog and Carvalho heading East to spend quality time with his special highness, but now it seems young Essien has bounced to the front of the queue brandishing a big red apple.
