Tuesday Whimsy: Let It Be Known, Noel Gallagher Doesn’t Do The Poznan. Or Does He?!

Tuesday Whimsy: Let It Be Known, Noel Gallagher Doesn’t Do The Poznan. Or Does He?!

The Poznań, otherwise known as the Grecque, is a European football celebration in which fans turn their backs to the pitch, lock arms, and jump up and down. One of the clubs whose fans traditionally engage in this behavior is Manchester City, the English Premier League superpower beloved by brothers and Oasis co-founders Noel and Liam Gallagher. In widely circulated footage from Man City’s 4-0 win over Fulham Saturday, Noel can be seen among the visiting fans at Fulham’s stadium Craven Cottage, the lone holdout in a sea of City supporters locked in Poznań pandemonium. The Athletic’s Daniel Taylor posted the video in a tweet.

In a response today, the iconic musician said the following:

“I have to say, in my defense, on Saturday I was still feeling the effects of a rather spectacular night out,” Noel said, calling in to the show. “So even if I wanted to join in the Poznań, I don't think I would have been able to.” - Gallagher
