    Blood Phantoms in hangover out in bath

    This is quite interesting.

    I assumed by 'football league' that it is two from the English league (Prem - Lg2)?

    No 'W' so neither side is .... Town
    No 'C' so neither side is ..... City or .... Athletic
    only 1 R so neither side is .... Rovers

    There's a 'V'

    Not Everton (only 1 e)
    Not Villa or Liverpool (only 1 L)

    Only Port Vale would fit, leaving BDHNTMSNHNGNBTH OOIAOOUIA

    So it's looking as if it's not confined to English League sides.

    I'm out of time for today, so we'll have to see if any-one gets it overnight.

    Knowing which league (or groups of leagues) may help us a bit:emoticon-0107-sweat

    Thanks for filling the gap there pfc and Singing <ok>


    I'm ready with the next subject, which is entitled On an Even Keel

    As always there are 30 anagrams in three blocks of 10.
    Each anagram is two teams at an equal level in the non-league pyramid. I have used steps 1-3
    The two teams will be either:
    2 from Blue Square Prem
    1 each from Blue Square NORTH and SOUTH
    1 each from NORTHERN and SOUTHERN Prem
    1 each from NORTHERN and ISTHMIAN Prem
    1 each from SOUTHERN and ISTHMIAN Prem

    Here's the first ten:

    1…Beggardom Contents Know-It-All =
    2…Betaking Stooges Unwisely =
    3…Brutally Screwy Insociability =
    4…Cheekiest, Young, Tidy Rainy Day =
    5…Enhanced The Demonic Turn-Offs =
    6…Error-Free. Bravest? So Wrong! =
    7…Exciting, Drab, Ultra Show-Off =
    8…Favored, Pleasant, Rude Break Down =
    9…Hand-In-Hand Or Muddiest Sons =
    10..Hey You! Mental Witch-Doctor! =
