Football Bragging Rights

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.

With just Arsenal and West Ham left in the top flight, both clubs had almost equal claim on the bragging rights.

For starters, both beat the other away from home by a single goal, although on the away goal rule Arsenal would have gone through.

In the Cup, both clubs reached Round Six so nothing to separate them there.

Arsenal did finish well above West Ham in the League though and that plus the four away goals gives them the slenderest of victories in the bragging right stakes.

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.
