London Bragging Rights League 1903-1904 Head to head West Ham 0 Fulham 1 ARSENAL 1 Fulham 0 With no London clubs in the Football League at the time, we turn to the Cup and the law of the playground to crown Arsenal the best team in London for the 1903-1904 season. In the Intermediate Round of the Cup, Fulham beat West Ham 1-0 and went on to meet Arsenal in the First Round. Arsenal won that game 1-0 and eventually reached the Third Round - better than any other London club. Arsenal beat Fulham who beat West Ham - so Arsenal were winners of the London Bragging Rights League by virtue of Cup success. | 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. |
