It's all about bragging rights.

Spurs didn't quite do the double back to back, but had their League form against London clubs been the same as it was last season they would have done. In the end they finished third in the League, four points behind Champions Ipswich Town, and they beat Burnley 3-1 at Wembley to retain the FA Cup.

Bragging rights in London went East to West Ham who lost just the once in the Capital.

More good news for Eastenders. Leyton Orient were promoted to the First Division alongside Liverpool.

Not such good news for Chelsea fans. They finished bottom of Division One and were relegated.

 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.
