It's all about bragging rights.

Arsenal's domination of 1970s football in London continued as they remained unbeaten against London clubs all season.

In the FA Cup the Gunners beat Chelsea 2-1 in the Sixth Round after a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs won the League Cup, beating Norwich City 1-0 in the Final. And on their way to Wembley they beat Millwall 2-0.

Crystal Palace unfortunately lost their top flight status, but their place in the London bragging rights would be taken by QPR next season who finished second in Division Two.

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 unless Cup football provides the decider.

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.
