Is the answer "ooh Terry Hurlock"?

 

I haven't got the Guardian so I don't know what the clue is. I imagine I'm right, though.

[Tokyo-Saint]

24 Le Tissier's finish? (4)

[Tokyo-Saint]

I've got the M from 24 down and the T from 18 down but have no idea what this one could be

[RonManager]

I managed to cram 'breathtakingly exquisite' into the four boxes, before being chased out of the newsagents.

[Thedelldays]

I read the mail

[buctootim]

'Pies' imo

[St_Tel49]

Good call

[Hatch]

Matt (le tissier)

After reading the OP, I just turned to look at the Quick Crossword on the back of G2 (that's the Guardian's daily supplement for all our plebby tabloid readers) and the clue for 24 across on that is:

 

Arrogant - Pompous (4, 3, 6)

 

That's Saints related too as the answer is clearly "Dune and Alpine".

[Tokyo-Saint]

matt?

 

Genius!

[Graffito]

I read the mail

 

Thought so.

[Ohio Saint]

Come

[suewhistle]

Matt finish, as opposed to gloss....

Didn't read the crossword, was too busy wiping my arse with that page. It's about all the Guardian is useful for.

It's got pictures too, you know. Maybe not ones with big boobs, and it's perhaps a little to the left of the Daily Fail, but what isn't?

I don't really read the newspapers, but then that's typical of the situation the industry is in. Hardly anyone reads papers these days and there can't be much life left in them.

Speak for yourself.

Readership figures and sales figures say more than I would ever need to.

[buctootim]

Around 9 million copies of paid for morning newspapers sold each day and another 1.5 million evening. Readership is around 50% higher than circulation - so around 16 million each day. Not exactly "hardly anyone"
