Love the ITK. Also looking forward to the day that Goat is in a curry. As I have absolutely no chance of ever deciphering a cryptic.

They're not really cryptics though :pompous:. Cryptic clues have rules and when you solve them there is no doubt that you have the correct answer.

What we are engaging in is more like an episode of 3-2-1 on acid. We don't really know if the answer is correct even if we guess right and are just hoping we don't end up with Rusty Bin Andre Gomes. :shifty:

OK

The cryptic.......I shot the sheriff

= Martial was at the training ground

As for the ins and outs of the actual reasoning behind the cryptic, you’ll have to wait for the author to fess up and as a dual, don’t go off on one moaning about it, I haven’t the patience......

So.....apart from todays cryptic we’re square, right?

Just before the second cryptic arrives...

"Look at" in Finnish is 'Kas'

"Ourson" in French is 'Bear (cub)'

Matt in English can have 'Dull' as a synonym

Shepherd in French is 'Berger'

So it's Kas Bear Dull Berger

Or Kasper Dolberg, if you prefer.
I just proposed to you in my head

Thanks for the solution A&C. On the downside,as that's now out in the open, I guess that Martial is not happening ?.

Surely that wasn't the second cryptic right? Cryptic in a cryptic about a cryptic? Far too meta for me

Look at our son.. Ruben Ira Loftus-Cheek

Ruben = ‘behold, a son’
Ira = ‘watchful’

Also the double barreled double-cryptic for double dypticers

The rest... The Parable of the Lost Sheep is one of the parables of Jesus. It appears in the Gospels of Matthew (Matthew 18:12–14)...

De Ligt is 18 and born on the 12th, if ruminate on is numeration. Shrug.

The capital M and S is weird though if not Milly Savage. Better than worrying about how much look at sounds like Luka and the book of Luke though.

I have to go now. Later.

Surely United would have to give permission for that to happen. Interesting.
Prove it! lol

A lot of things happen without the players club knowing.

Example Holtby had a mini medical with us about 2 months before anything was agreed.
