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 beat Arsenal both home and away in the League to claim the best team in London title for the 1929-1930 season.
Arsenal did get revenge with a 3-0 away win in the Sixth Round of the FA Cup and they also knocked out Chelsea with a 2-0 home win on their way to lifting the trophy for the first time.
West Ham cemented their claim to the bragging rights though with a 4-1 Cup win over Millwall.
| 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.
