Despite finished 16th in Division One - below the other three London clubs in the division - Spurs turned it on in derby games to take the bragging rights for the Capital back from Arsenal.

Arsenal's problem was that they couldn't win at home against their nearest geographiical rivals - despite scoring 11 goals in three away games against them.

 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.
