Alright, everybody it's contest time again. For this one, we've got a Roberts Sports radio and talkSPORT's new Legends & Anthems CD set for one super lucky winner, plus a couple more CD sets for a pair of runners up. Here's how we're going to do this:

Becks and Noel Gallagher, formerly of Oasis, are set to boldly go where no Adidas advert has gone before. All I ask is that Snoop Dogg play the role of Khan. If we can get that worked out I'm good. Just so long as he's not a Klingon as that would just be so obvious as he kind of looks like a Klingon. Click to continue reading...

It seems that David Beckham will do anything these days to be in an advertisement. I would have expected more underwear posters but this time it will be in a Star Trek outfit. Beckham and Noel Gallagher of Oasis were seen at a London photoshoot dressed as undisclosed Start Treck Characters.

It's still unknown what the commercial was for except that it will involve Beckham, Gallagher, Ian Brown, Snoop Dogg, Agyness Deyn and Daft Punk.

Please observe a moment of silence for that fine band of City fans from Manchester, Oasis. It looks like they'll be splitting up now that guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher will be leaving the band since he can no longer work with his brother, Liam.
Noel wrote on the band's website: "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you I quit Oasis tonight. Click to continue reading...

While Noel Gallagher cements his place as THE Man City fan, Carlos Tevez continues to ruminate about his former employer and sworn enemy. Says Tevez:

"Ferguson is history in my career. Mark Hughes just concentrates on working and training, not getting involved in the business of other clubs.

Dear Noel Gallagher,

I am an avid fan of Oasis. I really like all of your music despite people's claims that all your music sounds the same. I even own a copy of Masterplan. I know that none of those songs were smash hits, but who cares? You're Oasis that's all that matters. Who cares what they think anyways, they probably live in the red side of Manchester.

"Liverpool have The Beatles and Manchester have Oasis. I think Manchester has the better band."
Cristiano Ronaldo is not such a big Fab Four fan.

"I don't like John Terry and I never have. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby. He's also a Cockney."
Man City fan Noel Gallagher is uncharacteristically outspoken as he list the reasons why he doesn't want John Terry at Eastlands. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool - Glen Johnson
Don't let me stop you from breaking the bank to secure the services of Steven Gerrard or Fernando Torres (or both). Both players will be among the most popular fantasy stars selected before the season begins, I'm sure. But in fantasy sport, it often pays to choose the less obvious players, who also tend to be less expensive than the big names (and few players will cost more fantasy cash than Stevie G and Torres).

"They showed me the money."
As Noel Gallagher said recently, Manchester City and Real Madrid are currently the two most exciting football clubs in the world.
Nice soundbite, Mr Wonderwall, but in case you hadn't noticed, the season has not started... so City are only exciting because every hyped footballer in the world is linked with a move to Eastlands. Click to continue reading...

Your dreams come true:

• Emmanuel Adebayor is now officially a member of Manchester City.
  
• Liverpool joined the Spurs for the an Ashley Young pursuit.
  
• Ibrahimovic/Eto'o deal agreed upon?
  
• City ups its bid for John Terry?
  
• Though Oasis' Noel Gallagher is not much of a JT fan.

Manchester City apparently have no desire to politely play down the fact that they lured Carlos Tevez away from their shadow-casting neighbors, as they have launched a local marketing campaign using the striker on billboards that are clearly having a laugh at United's expense.

The billboard above, welcome Tevez to the city he was already in and using an image of him celebrated a goal he scored for United against Wigan last season, is located in Manchester city centre and lists the club's official website in the bottom right corner.

Please excuse the guy singing while filming the video as he is neither Noel nor Liam Gallagher (one would presume). Not sure if you've heard but, well, the Gallagher brothers are huge Man City fans. Real huge. So they probably penned an entire album during this month's Kaka saga alone. Starting small, though, Noel goes [. Click to continue reading...

Noel Gallagher's great for so many reasons, the latest of which is his enormously smug response to his beloved Manchester City being taken over by the stupidly rich Dubai consortium. The tables, is seems, have finally been turned on arch rivals Manchester United, with the future for once perhaps looking rosier for the blue half of the city.

To be a city fan... all together now. "It'll be nice to know that every gallon of petrol a Manchester United fan buys is going into our kitty," Noel Gallagher said today, in response to news they had been bought by Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment.

- In a shocking revelation, both Serie A Milan clubs, AC and Inter, have been indicted on charges of false accounting. I am in complete and utter shock, an Italian club cheating? Impossible. Apparently they 'added a zero or two' in player transfer valuations between the clubs. Both sides have denied any wrongdoing which means it's just an accepted part of the sport in Italy.
