Dele Adebola is wrong but you're correct with both of your workings out so far

We need to solve the loose woman!

Slut, 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

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 (), 'tart' being the loose woman....

A tight spot - I did think Justin Pipe.

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

We hear brief fib = Nikolai (knicker lie)

will cost victory = Value - v



Tempts hint anew? Anew!

Hmmm, 'anew' suggests an anagram...

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