It's time to get the Golden Losers Trophy rolling again for the new season. And, Manchester United as champions, of course, failed at the first attempt, but dumped it on Portsmouth at the second. It doubt whether this made 'Appy 'Arry too chuffed, although his team may struggle to dump the pot on Everton when they head north this week. Curiously, a Google search of "Happy Harry" takes you to the cheery little chap from Luton Town below. A real golden loser if ever there was one. These Happy Harry toys retail at about £100,000 each, we understand.

Sunday 17 August: Manchester United 1 Newcastle United 1 - Golden Loser - Manchester United
Monday 25 August: Portsmouth 0 Manchester United 1 - Golden loser - Portsmouth
Saturday 30 August: Everton v Portsmouth
