Aim to get hooligan in trouble yourself (2,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
go all out
'trouble yourself' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'aim to get hooligan' is the wordplay.
'aim' becomes 'goal' (I've seen this before).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hooligan' becomes 'lout' (both can mean an aggressive person).
'goal'+'lout'='GO ALL OUT'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
