Best Football Team In London 1914-1915 |
 When it comes to football, winning trophies is all very well, but what 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 1914-1915
Head to head Arsenal 1 CHELSEA 1 CHELSEA 3 Arsenal 1 The Great War over, football returned for the 1919-1920 season. Despite finishing fifth in the Second Division in 1914-1915, Arsenal were one of three teams promoted and joined Chelsea in the top flight. Two matches in the space of a week in December 1919 saw Chelsea draw away at Highbury and then beat the Gunners 3-1 at home. Cup football was back too with Chelsea reaching the semi-finals. Down in Division Two, Spurs won the title beating Fulham and Leyton Orient home and away. They also beat West Ham at home twice (once in the Cup), but lost away to the Hammers. But Division Two success just doesn't cut it. Chelsea finished third in Division One and were the best team in London for the second season in a row. |
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. |
