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.

 For a club in the top flight of English footbnall for the first time, Charlton Athletic will have surprised a lot of people by finishing second in the League, one place ahead of Arsenal and just three points behind Champions Manchester City..

Had Charlton's form against the other clubs been better, they might have won the League. In fact Arsenal were the only team to beat them at the Valley all season.

Overall, Arsenal were the best club in London again.

Millwall, who were playing their football in the English Division Three (South) at the time, reached the Semi-Finals of the FA Cup where they lost 2-1 to the eventual winners Sunderland. En route, they put six past Aldershot, seven past Gateshead and beat both Fulham (2-0) and Chelsea 3-0.

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.
