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. |

Despite Spurs finishing Runners Up in Division One and Arsenal finishing 17th, the Gunners turned it on when it mattered against their London rivals, beating Spurs once and Chelsea twice to be crowned the best team in London for the 1921-1922 season.
In the Cup, Arsenal once again met QPR in the First Round, but this time beat them 2-1 in a replay after a 0-0 draw at home.
| 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.
