Best Football Team In London 1908-1909 |
 When it comes to football, winning trophies is all very well, but all that really matters is who can go into work on a Monday morning with their head held high after a derby game. It's all about bragging rights. |
London Bragging Rights League 1908-1909
Head to head Chelsea 1 ARSENAL 2 ARSENAL 0 Chelsea 0 Arsenal gained revenge on their West London rivals by beating them 2-1 away on the 28th of November 1908. The two teams then drew 0-0 at Arsenal on the 3rd of April 1909. Arsenal were the best team in London during the 1908-1909 football season and Champions of the London Bragging Rights League. Fans of the then non-league Millwall though might question Arsenal's claim to be the best team in London at the time. The two teams met in the First Round of the FA Cup on Saturday the 6th of February 1909 and drew 1-1. The replay four days later at Millwall saw the Lions win 1-0. | 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. |
