I loved the PORTALOO clue.

Even as a footie person, it took me a while to find which UNITED it was. The only one that mystified me a little was BANK ROBBER. Like Peter, I thought the construction of AUTOMOBILE was excellent as was much else in this puzzle.

The comments re: Paul and Punk add another aspect to the classification of setters as Ximenean or Libertarian, namely the attitude of the editor. As John also appears in The Times (and the FT), there’s probably a scale of libertarianism for this particular setter with the Guardian at one end and the Times at the other.
