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. |

Between 1930 and 1938, Arsenal won five League titles and two FA Cups.
This season they won the League and were also unbeaten against London opposition - hence they toppped the London Bragging Right League for the fourth year on the trot.
All hail, Arsenal. Arsenal, all hail!
| 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.
