Best Football Team In London 1909-1910 |
 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 1909-1910
Head to head ARSENAL 3 Chelsea 2 ARSENAL 1 Spurs 0 Chelsea 2 Spurs 1 Chelsea 0 ARSENAL 1 Spurs 1 ARSENAL 1 Spurs 2 Chelsea 1 Despite narrowly avoiding relegation, Arsenal dominated London football during the 1909-1910 season and remained unbeaten in Derby games. Indeed, their form in London derbies was one of the main reasons they survived the drop. Chelsea finished two points below Arsenal in Division One and were relegated. And to add to their misery, they were dumped out of the FA Cup by Spurs in the Second Round at home. Spurs, who were promoted from the Second Division at the first attempt, finished a point above Arsenal in Division One, but as far as bragging rights went came a distant second to their North London rivals. Arsenal were therefore the best team in London during the 1909-1910 football season and Champions of the London Bragging Rights League. | 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. |
