It's all about bragging rights.

It was a close run thing, but thanks to a 2-0 away win at Arsenal, Spurs were London's best football club during the 1922-23 season - by goal difference.

In those days, home and away matches were played just a week apart - so you can only assume Chelsea didn't travel well.

In the Cup, four London clubs made the last eight - Spurs, West Ham, QPR and Charlton, but only West Ham progressed eventually losing to Bolton in the first final ever played at Wembley. The Hammers also won the Second Division.

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.
