No, really. Earlier this year, the High Flying Birderist accurately predicted that his beloved Manchester City would win the league cup by beating Liverpool on penalties, and that Yaya Toure would score the decisive spot kick. Which is exactly what happened. Being a deity, Noel knew this. Probably gambled half his millions on it as well, the clairvoyant sod.

In 1994 he also predicted the longevity of ‘Definitely Maybe’ saying, ‘in 20 years’ time people will buy ‘Definitely Maybe’ and listen to it for what it was. That’s what’s important.’ Hats off to him there.

That’s all really. He hasn’t predicted much more than that to be honest. Still, Noel = genius.
