Football Bragging Rights

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.

It was honours even between Arsenal and Spurs as both North London clubs won their home fixture against the other.

Despite finishing higher in Division One, wins against non-London clubs pale into insignifiance when compared to victory in London derbies.

And so we go to the FA Cup for the decider. Arsenal went out in the Third Round, the same round Spurs beat Chelsea 1-0 away from home. A win that nudges them into the lead as far as London wide bragging rights are concerned.
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.
