Best Football Team In London 1912-1913 |
 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 1912-1913
Head to head Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1 SPURS 1 Chelsea 0 Arsenal 0 SPURS 3 Chelsea 1 Arsenal 1 Chelsea 1 SPURS 0 SPURS 1 Arsenal 1 A 3-0 away win at Arsenal meant that Spurs won the Bragging Rights League during the 1912-1913 season. Chelsea had won promotion back to the top flight at the second time of trying and lost out to Spurs on goal difference alone. Arsenal not only finished bottom of Division One and were therefore relegated, they didn't manage a single win against a London club all season and were even held to a 0-0 draw in the first round of the FA Cup by Croydon Common. Not a great year to be an Arsenal fan. By contrast, Spurs fans won the bragging rights to the 1912-1913 season by virtue of winning the London Bragging Rights League title. | 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. |
