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.

 In their three seasons in Division One, Charlton Athletic had finished second, foutrth and now third - a fantastic achievement.

And now thanks to home and away wins against Chelsea and victory over Arsenal at The Valley, they were also the best team in London for the first time.

Chelsea put Arsenal out of the Cup with a 2-1 home win and also disposed of Fulham 3-0, but went out in the Sixth Round when they lost 1-0 at home to Grimsby Town.

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.
