Noel Gallagher prompted boos from fans as he told gig-goers that football was “not coming home”.

The former Oasis man was performing at Scarborough's Open Air Theatre on Friday when he offered his typically downbeat assessment of England’s chances of winning the World Cup.

In a video shared on Twitter by a fan at the event, the audience is heard breaking into song, singing England football anthem Three Lions.

But as the chant gets louder, the 51-year-old interjects. “It's coming home," he says. “Seriously though, it f***ing so isn't.

“It f***ing is not. It is not. You f***ing know it, and I know it."

The crowd can be heard booing in response.

Darren Ratcliffe, who posted the video, tweeted: "I love NG but he is so f***ing wrong it's beyond belief!!”

Hours later, Gallagher's estranged brother and former Oasis co-star Liam appeared to weigh into the debate and throw his support behind the England team in his own indominatible style.

"Cmon ...........ahhhhhhhhhh as you were LG," he tweeted.

England play Sweden in the World Cup quarter final on Saturday.
