too much to pull that way...
I do the full Scotts 4-5 step fertilizer/weed prevention thingy every year fairly religously.
This clover patch seems to be pretty much were our lawn was torn up a few years back when our walk way was removed. the rest of the durround (original) lawn is still in good shape.

You may want to leave it until the fall unless you plan to immediately overseed the area with new grass (probably not a good bet this late in the spring), because once the clover is gone, some other weed will move in.

Does it have odd little flower-like things growing in it as well? If so it isn't clover, it's actually a type of weed that looks like clover. Enquire at somewhere like Orchard Supply or Ernst or Home Depot as to what weed killer will take it out.
Oh yes, hella ghetto, but if you want to put some grass in there ASAP that'll grow fast use birdseed. No joke. The small, beige seeds sprout quick. Only thing is that sometimes the seed part stays at the top of the blade as it grows.

Use a broad-leaf weed killer (won't kill your grass because it's designed to kill plants with broad leaves, not blades).

I let all the weeds live in my lawn.......they are actually "wildflowers" for the most part except for the dollarweed....
this winter season it was beautiful. And I make sure and let it seed so the wind blows it all over the neighborhood
Muahhaahahahaha :evil:

Get the tires with "slime" in 'em. Always worked for me, and I rode my bike in what you would call a Goathead (actually Bullhead) infested area. It won't immediately stop the tire from deflating all the time, but it'll seal up in a minute or so and let you re-inflate it.
Double-check the formula on the Scotts Patch seed blend - a lot of grass seed mixes have clover in them.

If you want to do the job right, then you must take drastic action. If you don't like the idea of weed killer on your lawn (some people think its evil) there is one option left.
Clover and related plants have very deep root systems and pulling them out is not easy.
The solution is to remove the chunk of lawn and about 3 inches or more of soil, then level it out and put sod down. Water it good till it holds. Lawn is as good as new.
