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.

West Ham retained the bragging rights in London for the second season in a row, remaining unbeaten all season against Capital opposition.

In the FA Cup, the Hammers also beat Crystal Palace 2-0 after a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park. Spurs too put out Seciond Division opposition in the shape of Fulham, beating them 2-0 at the Lne after a 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage.

Arsenal fans will be pleased to hear they beat spurs three times this season - twice in the League and 2-1 away in the League Cup Third Round.

Chelsea won the Second Division title so five teams will be competing for next season's bragging rights.

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.
