Noel Gallagher doesn’t think football’s coming home – and Liam’s not having any of it.

The High Flying Birds frontman, 45, got a dressing down from his brother on Twitter after he revealed he has no faith in Gareth Southgate’s squad ending 52 years of hurt by bringing home the World Cup trophy.

Noel was booed on stage ahead of England’s winning game against Sweden on Saturday after fans started chanting football anthem, Three Lions. Unimpressed he said: “Seriously though, it f****** so isn’t.

“It f****** is not. It is not. You f****** know it and I know it.”

No faith: Noel Gallagher angered fans at his recent gig

Not one to miss an opportunity to slate his brother, Liam criticised him for not getting behind the England squad, blaming Noel’s wife Sara MacDonald for his apparent lack of faith.

He tweeted: “Very sad when you can't support your country coz your mrs won't let ya hashtag soft lad hashtag under the thumb ITS COMING HOME as you were LG x.”

Fans were quick to back Liam with one posting: “YES LIAM!!!!!! Can’t believe he said that.....”

Another tweeted: “Well said Liam...even if he truly thought that,, why would want to bring the mood of his own gig down by saying it wasn't? He's under the thumb as you were.”

Others called for the brothers to settle their differences and reunite Oasis if England reign victorious, with one posting: “Oasis reunion if it comes home?”
