Man United 3-1 Man City (van Nistelhorse)
Chelsea 3-1 Bolton Wanderers (Mutu, described by Barry Davies at the 1998 World Cup as 'the only Pokemon character competing in these championships')
Leicester 1-1 Birmingham (Ferdinand, L)
Liverpool 2-0 Southampton (the fantastically named Sinima Pongolle, or however you spell it)
Middlesborough 1-0 Charlton Athletic (Maccarone - pronounced MaccaronAY, by the way, a fact that seems to escape most of the UK media )
Newcastle 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur (Alan She-Ra)
Portsmouth 1-1 Everton (the returning Kevin Campbell)
Aston Villa 0-1 Wolves (He's dark, he's mean, he's robbed a fruit machine - Nathan Blake)
Arsenal 2-0 Blackburn Rovers (Tel Henry)
Leeds 2-1 Fulham (considering what I do for a living, I should know if Smudger's still suspended, but I've been doing Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday this week and Gudjon Thordarson is a triffically nice bloke. So I'll say Alan Smith and to hell with the quincequonces, seeing as barring a miracle I've blown my chances of winning this thing)

Oh, and one that I've got a far better chance of getting right:
Farsley Celtic 2 Kendal Town 1 (Mick Midwood)

"Mutu, described by Barry Davies at the 1998 World Cup as 'the only Pokemon character competing in these championships'"

I'm quite ashamed that I got that joke, but
