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. |

Big wins home and away to Chelsea and a home win against Arsenal put Spurs at the top of the London Bragging Rights League for 1920-1921.
And then there was the FA Cup win with Spurs beating Wolves 1-0 in the final.
Arsenal were put out of the Cup by Third Division South QPR in the First Round. QPR were unbeaten against London clubs all season with neither league rivals Crystal Palace or Millwall able to get the better of them..
| 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.
