Robbie Williams is not getting round Noel Gallagher like that

It must have seemed like a great super-fun idea at the time, when Robbie Williams recorded a song having a pop at the Gallagher brothers. "I know, I'll call it Dickhead and put it on my album" he must have chortled.

The next day, it probably seemed like a slightly less super-fun idea. So Robbie sent a 'sorry' note to Oasis' management, claiming to "not know" how the song got on the album (what, Robbie, you didn't even bother to cast your eye over your own tracklist? If you can't be arsed to play the bloody thing through, why should anyone else?)

More harming still, rather than being upset, Noel Gallagher has just shrugged the whole thing off:

I haven’t heard the album — I doubt I will — apparently that’s the best track on it.

“He sent this note to our office claiming he didn’t know it was on the album. He can fuck right off. I don’t give a fuck what he thinks and I don’t give a fuck about him.”

... which is what passes for insouciance in the Oasis camp.
