We are on a roll this week! Found this much easier than usual. Not complacent though – no doubt will struggle next week…

Certainly an improvement on last week, although this week we have the dreaded double unches again (unchecked squares) again. This time, the words have less than 50% checking which was the selling point for last week’s, according to the setter.

Better but still not as enjoyable as the other puzzles available today.

keeping on a footy theme I decided to print it out after we conceded our third goal of the afternoon and in between swearing at my computer as the game went on had almost finished it by the time we let in our fourth. So i am with Barrie tonight in drowning my sorrows . i very nearly made the long drive to the south coast today as well just decided to save my money as i want to visit spurs next month

19a – for example, 17a (weak, I felt) 2d

I feel patronised! And I’m not that good at crosswords!

OK I’m done, but a few issues with this one, some clues way too easy and barely cryptic in places

Great crossword this week – did it all in record time, not bad for a ‘generally clueless’. I thought 16a was quite good! One half of the word for each word of the clue and the whole = the whole… if you see what I mean. (can’t explain better without giving it away!) What about Rugby!!

Have just returned from a week in glorious Bournemouth and have had no access to the site. Today’s was a gentle romp after a week of challenging examples. 2* at a push.

Much better than last week, as stated a couple of old chestnuts but a few clever clues.
20a and 9a stood out.
