Their friendship and subsequent falling out is the stuff of showbiz legend, but Robbie Williams has proved that his revenge on Oasis is a dish best-served cold.

The former Take That star took to Twitter after Gary Barlow jokingly said they were "like Blur versus Oasis" because they were releasing records on the same day.

Not only did the Robster depreciate himself in his reply, but he took a cheeky swipe at Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher in the process.

He wrote: "Gaz - it’s more like Oasis vs Beady Eye, except at the end of this week WE'LL all still have a career! RW x"

At least we assume he meant that he was Beady Eye, if not maybe Barlow should feel miffed too.

Robbie unveiled a new track called Bully this week.
