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. |

Last season QPR were playing Second Division football. This season they are the best team in London!
Indeed, QPR remained unbeaten against top flight London opposition in 11 League and Cup games.
In the Third Round of the FA Cup, QPR put Chelsea out, beating them 1-0 at Loftus Road after a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge. And in the League Cup Second Round, QPR beat Spurs 1-0 at home.
So for the first time in the history of the London Bragging Rights League, Queens Park Rangers take the honours.

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.
