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.

Chelsea won their first ever League title during the 1954-1955 season, but in London it was Arsenal who got the better of their neighbours to claim the bragging rights title.

Some would say that winning the League should give you automatic bragging rights over your rivals, but not so. Only derby games count and the records show that Arsenal were unbeaten against London clubs while Chelsea lost at home to Charlton and away to Arsenal.

Sorry Chelsea.

 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.
