I've put in STONES as if you put City in clue instead of Chelsea it's the only answer that makes sense. May be an error with the clue

juniorBman

11A These are even for the headstrong - H?L?E?S
28A Claudia or Nicolas? Footballers, with no iris perhaps - O????I I presume t's an anagram of "noiris" but stuck to get anything to fit.

TRIPLET fits

darkey

is it triplet or triples?

brian_t

darkey wrote: »

I don't play poker so I don't know but...

Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same rank and two cards of different ranks - for example 7-7-7-10-6. This is sometimes known as a triplet or trips.

54A Cannot figure this out. Are the dutch the new black????. Is it Orange.

dxhound2005

Yes, Orange.

The Netflix series is called "Orange is the New Black" because it is based off of a memoir by Piper Kerman called Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison. As the other answers have said, "the new black" is an idiom of sorts in fashion, because wearing black is fashionable (black goes with everything).

Evening,

Just need one more answer to finish this off.

Thought it was "tenth" then seen there's a cycling term called "senth"

If anyone needs solutions I'll throw them out don't hesitate to ask

Thanks in advance!
