    We need to solve the loose woman!

    ****, tart, slag...(apols for the unpleasant language - just trying to solve the clue!)

    Then I guess that gets scrambled with D E A L B A

    Unless Loose Woman is one of the presenters of the TV show? I'm know it's JBO's favourite :p

    Had to cheat really.....I obviously know you support the Owls, so I looked up Wednesday's and Saturday's opponents QPR's squads on Wiki....

    Sure enough, there's a hoop named Adel Taarabt (:eek:), 'tart' being the loose woman....:-)

    Sadly Justin has 6 letters.

    James Wade :)

    Tight spot = jam
    oddly easy = (e)a(s)y
    to walk through = wade

    Good clue, TC! Was really struggling with that until you revealed the sport.


    Silvers grip around potassium is really extreme

    I'm certain I'm right.

    Silvers = Phil. Grip around potassium = Vice around K = Vicke. really extreme = ry = Vickery.

    So here's my clue.

    Muhammad takes a step up, before the owl takes shelter

    Nikolai Valuev

    will cost victory = Value - v

    Hmmm, 'anew' suggests an anagram...

    Tried scrambling 'tempts hint anew' but can't solve it. Letters might be handy ;)
