Football Bragging Rights

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 all three top flight teams beating each other and no Cup meetings, goal difference decided the bragging rights for the 1982-1983 season.

And with nothing to seperate Spurs and West Ham, the head to head results come into play with the Hammers winning 4-2 on agggregate.

Spurs fans could however take consolation in the fact that they gubbed Arsenal 5-0 at White Hart Lane.

QPR finished the season as Second Division Champions so four teams would be competing for bragging rights come next season.

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.
