Noel Gallagher’s nickname for Brendan Rodgers looks to have stuck

Noel Gallagher is a fan of 'The Brodge'.

The musician was on Match of the Day 2 last night and the reaction wasn't kind. Many questioned Gallagher's skills as a football pundit, feeling the singer should probably stick to his day job. Gallagher's most telling contribution was his nickname for Brendan Rodgers. The former Oasis guitarist repeatedly referred to the Liverpool manager as 'The Brodge'... That's right, 'The Brodge'. You see his name is Brendan Rodgers, so Gallagher has smashed the two words together to create 'Brodge', seemingly adding 'The' for effect. Because who has the time to be referring to people by their full name these days? Manchester City fan Gallagher said: 'We [City fans] thought the powers of The Brodge were waining, but he's turning it around'. Brendan Rodgers' thoughts on his new nickname are, as yet, unknown. But he may have to get used to it. https://twitter.com/EmreTheTank/status/569815343805419520 https://twitter.com/srikanthbala/status/569788101129736192 https://twitter.com/bwink5/status/569757298530189312 https://twitter.com/kpsundayworld/status/569631566038757377 https://twitter.com/SamMcGuire90/status/569636302523662337
