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. |

West Ham thrashed Arsenal 7-0 on their way to becoming the top club in London for the third time in four seasons.
Spurs beat both Arsenal and West Ham away, but lost both return games at home.
And West Ham even made amends for last season's Cup defeat by Tottenham buy beating the North London club 3-2 in the Third Round. Arsenal made it all the way to the final before losing to Cardiff City.
But West Ham 7 Arsenal 0. What more do you need to know when talking about bragging rights?
| 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.
