Manchester City celebrity fan Noel Gallagher was able to get Mario Balotelli to come clean over his 'Why Always Me' t-shirt.

Gallagher spoke with Balotelli for the BBC this week.

And he wrote in the Independent: "I asked him what was going through his mind with his 'Why Always Me?' T-shirt in the derby at Old Trafford, the day after he nearly burnt his house down with fireworks.

"'I got up, and I read the papers, and I knew I was going to score a hat-trick'. But you only got two? "That's because Mancini took me off, if he'd kept me on I'd have scored a hat-trick.'

"And I believe him. So I asked him about 'Why Always Me?' And he said it was a message to the press: 'Why are you so interested in me?'"
