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. |

Boring. Arsenal won the League yet again! Amd their stranglehold over the national game was just as tight in London.
They scored eleven goals against Spurs over two meetings and put seven past Chelsea too.
And as well as the torment of losing 6-0 at home to Arsenal, Tottenham finished the season rock bottom and were relegated. West Ham almost took their place, but finished third on goal average after securing the same numbver of points as promoted Bolton Wanderers.
| 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.
