Fixed it (I think), well at least for this morning.

[cinelli]

Well solved, dealtn. What's more you have done it in a way which may well leave quite a few people still scratching their heads.

dealtn's response changes one of the items - "TEE---AL" has been removed and "TT---AL" added. Was this intentional?

Still not figured it out, I thought I had a solution but it doesn't fit. I might try turning the non-solution to this into a new puzzle.

Nope just my inexpert typing, only the order has changed (and possibly changed again!)

[SteelCamel]

Yes, got it now. I agree with the solution you posted in the spoiler. Not a field I'd usually think about, though it is a very popular field, in more ways than one.
There's another typo in your list, MA--- in place of ---OR. And yes, the order you posted is no longer correct, unsurprisingly.

Let's see if I can put my version together without any mistakes....

Indeed. Could we now have the answer, please?

Could we now have the answer, please?

Certainly. Here are the complete words:

The missing letters are the starts of the teams in the English premier football league:

Chelsea                Sheff Utd               
Norwich                Man City               
Liverpool              Burnley               
Leicester              [expletive deleted]               
Brighton               West Ham               
Wolves                 Aston Villa
Crystal Palace         Southampton
Man Utd                Newcastle
Tottenham              Watford
Everton

The missing team is Bournemouth so dealtn's CARI--- does nicely. Alas for Bournemouth, they were relegated today.

Ah. Thanks. No, not a footie fan, and that would never have occurred to me ... and I'd have had no clue even if it did!

[UncleEbenezer]

Seems I was right: SensE was missing.

You're assuming knowledge many of us simply don't have (nor care about). I'd've known or guessed fewer than half of those names.
