The Gallagher brothers

Pop stars opened their big mouths once again this year - here are the best quotes of 2011 starting (where else?) with the ever-reliable Gallaghers.

"I'm not good with words. I just say the first thing that comes into my head." Liam Gallagher surprises no one

"I have never cried over music. Birds cry over music. I put the kettle on." Noel Gallagher is a real man

"The way I view Oasis now is that's it like having a child from a previous relationship." Liam

"It isn't going to take place. Do I look desperate? No." Noel on an Oasis reunion

"His gigs will be like those that you can really stroke your chin at. With four rent-a-Scousers wearing shell-suits." Liam has high hopes for Noel

"For the record, it is a fact that he was diagnosed with laryngitis and it is a fact that he had a doctor's note to prove it." Noel lets the V 2009 argument go

"I'm sure we're gonna get back together. Noel's got to do his solo thing - and realise he's not that good without his younger brother." Liam strikes a positive note
