Is it me or is the wordplay to 30d questionable? If it's just that AT is in southgATe, that seems a bit iffy. If it's not, then I don't understand...

Buzzb, it's not the At in Southgate, it's the ???? in the earlier part....

Lewap- 1 d has a team in it. Reset is defined by three parts with final word being definition.

Replying to Adeano re last week:

I have so far solved 14 clues. I always view Sabre as a multi week effort and I don't submit so no time pressure, I agree with your analysis, but it's Sabre so the usual rules don't apply.

He has a very long history of setting very hard puzzles and pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable.

Lewap - with 14 the Scottish striker had a three letter surname and died recently - M

Lewap, re 14: usual abbreviation for king + Scottish footballer maybe before your time! Definition at end

Thanks all.
All clues now happily parsed.

Could use a bit of help. 13 teams found. Can’t see the sixth down team, though confident I have the three words. Grid full apart from 26a: is it a word? At the endgame, the teams can’t be found in my grid in consecutive cells: is it a random choice if where to eliminate the teams?

oompa - assuming that you've identified the correct clue for the sixth down team,that team's name (6+4) is formed from the first 10 letters of the extra words.
26a - yes, it is a word, confirmed by Chambers.
endgame - the letters are spread randomly in the gird and have to be eliminated one at a time. It's very fiddly!

Isn’t it 7,4?
