Can you tell us the answer to this week's Pre-Match Poser?
Charlton, Carlisle and Sunderland all managed it at one point or another – but Oxford, Chester and even Valencia have not. What is it?
We'll reveal the answer this time next week in the next edition of The Pre-Match Poser – stay tuned for that – but for now, here's the answer to last week's conundrum…
Q. What completes this sequence: Canada national team, New Zealand football association, Panathinaikos…
A. We’ve gone from one leaf in the badge (Canada’s maple), to two (a pair of fern leaves for the NZ FA), to Panathinaikos’ three-leaf clover. Celtic have a four-leaf clover, so they’ll do next. Unless you can think of any others in the comments?

Cracking a Pre-Match Poser is the footballing equivalent of a 30-yard screamer into the top corner: it requires a rare blend of audacity and pure technical skill that simply can’t be taught. However, the game's grand narrative isn't just about one-off moments of brilliance; it’s about sustained excellence and the sheer breadth of the footballing world: a fresh collection of deep dives is now live, courtesy of Kwizly.
We begin by honouring the serial winners and the flawless lineups that defined entire eras. We’re asking you to recall the absolute elite by naming every player to have won four or more Premier League titles, before taking on the ultimate selection task of naming every Premier League winners' all-time XI. It is a rigorous test of your memory for the dynasties that turned the English top flight into their own personal playground.
If your passion lies with the clinical finishers and the pioneers of the European stage, we have two formidable hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can attempt to name every player to score 20+ goals in a Premier League season to prove you know your poachers from your pretenders, or widen your scope to the entire continent and name every club to have ever played in the Champions League. From the local legends of the goal-scoring charts to the obscure outliers of the European Cup, let's see if your footballing IQ is truly world-class.
