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. |

Spurs beat Arsenal 5-0 at home on Christmas Day 1911, but then lost 3-1 away on Boxing Day!
Despite finishing 10th in Division One to Arsenal's 8th, Spurs were the best team in London during the 1911-1912 football season.
| 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.
