Liam Gallagher gives Sky Sports new Liverpool nickname in X-rated dig after Man City title win

Liam Gallagher has taken an X-rated Liverpool dig at Sky Sports after Manchester City’s Premier League title victory.

City showed incredible character to come back from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho fired Steven Gerrard’s side ahead.

However, a brace from Ilkay Gundogan - in between a Rodri strike - turned the title race on its head. Liverpool, meanwhile, came from behind themselves to beat Wolves at Anfield.

Sadio Mane cancelled out Pedro Neto’s opener in the first-half before goals from Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson secured the Reds a 3-1 victory.

And Gallagher, who is a well-known City fan, couldn’t help but take aim at Sky Sports following his side’s victory. He said: “And now I’m gonna cancel my subscription of scousesports as there the most biased ****s in the world MCFC CHAMPIONS GOODBYE LG x.”

Speaking earlier this month, Gallagher hit out at Jamie Carragher on social media after the Sky Sports pundit claimed a club can’t be called a 'giant' unless they have lifted the Champions League.

"The Champions League is the biggest trophy you could win,” the former Liverpool defender said in the Sky Sports studio after City's 5-0 win over Newcastle United.

“How many leagues are in Europe....five teams every year will win that league. Only one team can win the Champions League, only one.

"You’re not seen as a giant club until you’ve won the Champions League. It’s a fact. In terms of City owners and Guardiola, to put them up there as a super club, you have to win a Champions League. You have too."

Gallagher replied on Twitter saying: "Carra talking absolute turd."

Carragher later fired back with: "I’m sure a man of your talents can work that lyric into the new album!"
