Really struggling this week.
4a I'd keeps mum's emeralds and paisley shift. (2,4,3,6) I realise this is an anagram but the more I look the blinder I become. Have only got M as first letter first word.

Also 20a A kind girl: therefore football folk expoit her. (5,2,1,7)
----S TO A F------

If anyone can assist hopefully it will spur me into a better thinking mode. Thank you in advance
