Woods delivers perfect response to Gallagher calling Arsenal fans 'idiots'

The musician, best known for being part of Oasis, made waves during his appearance on talkSPORT on Tuesday when he took aim at fans of the north London club.

He laughed off suggestions that the Gunners could sign Ilkay Gundogan this summer.

Speaking on White And Jordan, Gallagher said: "I love it with that lot because the fans are idiots! They are! They've got more fan channels than any club in world sport.

"There's about 1,000 of them, you can't look at YouTube without seeing some fan channel.

"I know quite a few [Arsenal fans] and they were giving it the big 'un in January/February and they know they were.

"And I watch enough of their fan channels because it is highly amusing and they know they were, they come out with this, 'it's good against evil and all the money' and all that. It's just like, suck it up."

However, Gallagher was never going to get away with his comments with avid Arsenal fan Woods around, with the presenter putting the Oasis star firmly in his place.

Speaking on The Sports Breakfast, Woods said: "You can call all football fans idiots, can't you? They're just passionate aren't they?

"Noel, the reason they've got more fan channels is because we've got more fans, sorry!

"Mikel Arteta doesn't need to tell his fans to liven up a little bit to get them going, I'm just saying, Noel. As much as I love you…

"He can say what he wants. They've absolutely done us this season and so he's completely right in some senses but, not the fans. We're all idiots. Everyone's an idiot!"

Woods went on: "I remember getting a lot of stick for not backing them. From the beginning of the season, I've never not said that City would turn it on in the run-in and they did.

"Noel, if you're calling our guys idiots we'll have to play you 'miserable Mark' who said 'I was not even that impressed, it was a bit of an anti-climax to win It how we did, I was a bit bored by it', come on!

"I'd rather have our fans than a fan like that."
