" Those Gallagher brothers, eh. Just weeks ago Noel slammed our poor One Direction boys, branding them &amp;#039;clowns&amp;#039; and suggesting they&amp;#039;re only famous for who they&amp;#039;re shagging (um...has he not *heard* their two groundbreaking albums?). And now it&amp;#039;s obviously Liam&amp;#039;s turn to pipe up about the lads, saying that he&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;not into their music&amp;quot;. Hmm. But wait...he did actually say some nice things, too. We think. In a round about kinda way.  When asked who his biggest competition in the music world is at the mo, Liam simply responded &amp;quot;One Direction,&amp;quot; before confirming that the fellas are indeed &amp;quot;mad for it&amp;quot;. OF COURSE HE DID. Chatting about the boys&amp;#039; success, Liam said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not into their music, [but] fair play to them, man, they got lucky - like we all do, I guess - and they&amp;#039;re just going for it.&amp;quot; Ah, we can kinda deal with that. At least this isn&amp;#039;t Jake Bugg levels of hate we&amp;#039;re talking about...and it&amp;#039;s better than that time he said the boys have their &amp;#039;heads up their arses&amp;#039;.  Liam continued: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s what it&amp;#039;s all about, innit? It&amp;#039;s all going to end at some point. And when it ends, you want to make sure you&amp;#039;ve ticked all the boxes.&amp;quot; Gah. It&amp;#039;s not gonna end though, Liam. We refuse to accept a One Direction-less world *covers ears, shields eyes*. What do you think? A bit of a backhanded compliment from Liam or do you reckon he&amp;#039;s a bit of a secret Directioner?
