Oasis guitarist and Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has declared Tottenham as the ‘biggest frauds’ in the Premier League.
Gallagher watched Spurs destroy his beloved City 4-0 at the Etihad on Saturday – but he has brutally predicted that Fulham will ‘batter’ Ange Postecoglou’s side in Tottenham’s next top-flight match on Sunday.
Quizzed about City’s drop-off, with Pep Guardiola’s side having lost their last five matches, Gallagher couldn’t resist a little dig at Spurs as he told talkSPORT: ‘The whole entire thing seems to have fallen off a cliff but if we hadn’t won four leagues in a row, I’d be worried.
‘This is an inevitable drop off of maybe five or ten per cent and on Saturday, the one team we don’t want to play as City fans after four defeats in a row is Tottenham at home.
‘They do it to us every time they come there, they’re the biggest frauds in the football league.
‘They’ll get battered by Fulham at the weekend, no problem. But they always turn up for us.
‘I wasn’t expecting to win that game, I certainly wasn’t expecting to lose but 4-0 was a shocker.’
Meanwhile, Gallagher feels the main issue for City this season is that they are too reliant on Erling Haaland for goals.
‘To have Haaland as your only source of goals, you’re asking for it really,’ Gallagher added. ‘I know it’s going to be difficult to buy a forward who knows he’s going to be playing second fiddle to Haaland.
‘We’ve always had a [Julian] Alvarez or a [Riyad] Mahrez chipping in and Phil [Foden] last season.’
Gallagher, though, is not too concerned about City’s title rivals Liverpool, despite their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
‘What I will say is we are very good at chasing,’ Gallagher said. ‘When it turns, we can sit in there. 11 points, is it insurmountable?
‘There is a lot to play for but I’m not heading [to Anfield on Sunday] expecting a win, I’d take a draw.’
