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. |

With only three London teams in the top flight, Spurs were the best of the bunch. As well as finishing third in the League, they were unbeaten against their London rivals.
West Ham won the Division Two title to add some spice to next season's bragging rights.
| 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.
