Re: Mike Dodds
The only criterion I can think of in choosing between those two almost equally unattractive options is the sound. Doddsy is very much in keeping with football nickname parlance (cf Vokesy and no doubt others) and, whereas Dobbo always sounds fine, Doddo (to me at least) has a very different ring.
Doddsy it is?!

Re: FA Cup 4th Round Draw
Definitely. The bit people might not remember is Leicester had beaten Liverpool at home quite comfortably the Saturday before, and were as high as 6th in the league?

Re: Birmingham and Burton KO moved
Thursday evening (as happened for Wrexham v Brum) would be better than either a Friday evening or Saturday lunchtime. But Saturday lunchtime time is definitely a killjoy.

Re: Birmingham and Burton KO moved
12:30 kickoffs are the work of the devil. Atmosphere for that fixture on a Friday night would be electric.
Re: Mike Dodds
Whenever I see posts about the Selhurst Park Alan Smith I’m reminded of an amusing exchange when he addressed the players for the first time, boasting that he’d taken Palace right up to Premier League. Apparently, Simon Garner responded with “and brought them straight back down again”. And I bet he didn’t say it sotto voce !
