Many thanks Malone, simond9x and others who have contributed to the thread and my understanding.
I see my mistake in 3 down - I had read 'even' as 'content' and identified a surplus T. I forgot to include the extra letter in 37 down so now have the work and understand the next stage of the instructions.
I can only repeat that this thread is really helpful for those of us who will never play Premier Division - though Norwich have demonstrated that surprises are possible. Alas their special victory parade bus broke down.
