Ex-Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher says the reason he loathed Blur so much is because they were a bunch of 'pansies'.

Lifting the lid on the venomous Brit Pop war that divided the nation in the 1990s, the charismatic vocalist admitted taunting the Boys and Girls singers was 'good fun'.

Liam said: 'At the time I hated Blur, I thought they were just pansies from London and we were a totally different thing.'

Insisting the row wasn't a PR game, he explained to NME: 'You might have done certain things, but no-one told me whether I liked someone or not.

'I thought it was just all good fun.'

At the time it was Blur who had the last laugh when Country House beat Roll With It to No.1 during a furious chart race in 1995.

Years later Blur's Damon Albarn said he didn't exactly find the row funny and claimed he'd been bullied by the Gallagher brothers.

Damon said: 'Noel used to take the p*** out of me constantly and it really, really hurt at the time.

'Oasis were like the bullies I had to put up with at school.'

Albarn, 44, managed to bury the hatchet with Noel, 45, this year at the Brit Awards when they hugged and partied on a boat together.

However, Liam is still fighting two battles after Noel failed to show up at his 40th birthday celebration this week.

The squabbling siblings broke up Oasis three years ago after Liam threw a plum at Noel's head.
