1) Only 4 clubs* in the premier league and football league have names that start and end with the same letter. Who are they?

(*may be more than 4 as question is a few seasons old but probably still only 4)

2) Which is the only club in top 4 leagues not to have any of the letters in the word "mackerel" in its name?
