London Bragging Rights League 1900-1901 No disputing who the best team was in London during the 1900-1901 season. It was Tottenham Hotspur. Arsenal were again the only London club with League status and they finished a respectable 7th in Division Two. Arsenal however only reached the Second Round of the FA Cup, losing 1-o at home to WBA. Spurs also met WBA in the Cup, beating them 4-1 at home in the Semi-Finals before beating Sheffield United 3-1 in a Final replay. That's right, Spurs won the FA Cup as a non-League side! As if winning the Cup was not enough, if Spurs beat WBA who beat Arsenal, the law of the playground says Spurs were better than Arsenal and therefore were the best team in London. | Three points for a win, one for a draw, sweet FA for a lose. Should two or more teams have the same number of points, goal difference decides bragging rights. Although in the good old days, clubs only received two points for a win in the League, the importance of beating your rivals means that no matter the season, three points for a win applies in the London Bragging Rights League. Cup success, especially against London rivals, can be used as a decider if required. |
