It's all about bragging rights.

With five teams competing for bragging rights and all taking points from one another, it was a close run thing, but Spurs were once again the best team in the Capital. Only Chelsea beat them.

In the Cup, Arsenal beat Orient 3-0 away and then Chelsea 3-0 in the Semis after a 1-1 draw to reach the Final where they lost 1-0 to Newcastle..

 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.
