the letter 'm'

what is it about football and the letter 'm'? is it pure coincidence that the world's (arguably) biggest and most successful clubs come from cities that begin with 'm'? even liverpool are included, since they're from merseyside. the following statistics should be more than enough to convince anyone who's about to shoot his mouth off about other teams, especially juventus or chelsea.

the only team that i think really deserve to join the great m's is barcelona, with 16 league titles, 24 copas del rey, 4 uefa cups, 4 cup winners' cups, and being the only team to take part in every european cup since it began in 1955, besides winning it once.

ps. arsenal fans don't even come close.

manchester united
15 league titles
11 fa cups
1 league cup
2-time european champions

liverpool
18 league titles
6 fa cups
7 league cups
5-time european champions

ac milan
14 league titles
6-time european champions

internazionale milan
11 league titles
2-time european champions

bayern munich
16 league titles
5-time european champions

real madrid
29 league titles
17 spanish cups
2 uefa cups
9-time european champions


olympique de marseille
10 league titles
10 coupes de france
1-time european champions

while we're on the 'm' success story, it also brings to mind other industries besides football, namely giants like microsoft and macdonald's, both of which are leaders in their field. what about michael jordan, michael jackson and madonna? i bet the list could go on and on. just keep those eyes peeled for the magical mystery of the letter 'm'.
