Bookmakers are offering 8/1 odds on Oasis' Noel and Liam Gallagher having a fight at The NME Awards next month.

Despite splitting last August, the indie legends have been voted in three categories at the music weekly's annual back-patting bash, prompting bookmakers to offer a flurry of odds.

As well as fighting, Paddy Power lists both brothers to re-unite to collect an award/attend the ceremony at 5/1 and Oasis to re-form in 2010 at 4/1.

Bizarrely, the bookmakers is also offering 7/4 odds on Noel joining Twitter in 2010.

Sharon McHugh from Paddy Power said: “Oasis are old time favourites of the NME Awards, so it’s really no surprise that they’ve been nominated.

“The big question for music fans this year is not what bands will win but more will there be fisticuffs at this year’s ceremony?”
