maybe not but as much as i hate to say it the old firm are big teams and their trophy haul is pretty impresive.

when you consider the EPL teams and scottish teams you should take into account that there is 2 cup competitions in these country's and only 1 in the other leagues so you would have to discount the league cup

True Story:

This past summer in San Francisco I was sitting in a packed, smelly bus running along Market street from the Transamerica Pyramid to the Haight-Ashbury area. The European female I was with wanted to get 'in touch’ with the locals and insisted on taking a bus. Filled with whino’s, junkie’s, the mentally ill, ex-cons and the homeless I quickly started to feel claustrophobic while always the optimist said “ this is what makes this city so colorful”. Finally sitting next to a homeless man who smelled like a blend of rotting fish, apartment-building-cooking-in-the-hall smell and stale vomit I got up and told the Eurodame I was 'out a here’. She pushed me back down on the seat and scolded me saying “You bring rotting fruit in stadiums and throw them at men and women wearing opposing scarves…You urinate in balloons and throw them 50 or so yards to people you have never met…Week after week you have been hit with rotten fruit with mould and balloons filled with God knows what and you are snubbing these people…sit down BIATCH.”
The homeless man replied “Piss in a balloon…mutha fucka you ain’t got no class…even I wouldn’t do that shite and I done a-lot o’ shit ai’t.” As the bus full of whino’s, junkie’s and homeless eyed me I opened up my backpack full of balloons and fruit and 'rocked the house’

Nice. I collected enough similar experiences taking the 14 Mission bus during owl service. Except it heads down to the Latin neighborhoods of the Mission district from downtown. After 11pm, the bus kind of feels like one of those scary night rides on a public bus along some dirt road in Nicaragua. Except instead of everyone carrying chickens and other livestock on board, people are mentally whacked out of their minds.

Once I was relieved when the most normal woman got on the bus and sat down next to me. She had all her limbs, two eyes, and I didn't see overt signs of drooling or vomit. She even was, for public transportation standards, moderately attractive. I felt I lucked out on my ride that night, as I wouldn't have to scrub myself with boric acid and a de-licing agent in the tub when I got home.

Wouldn't you know it, this seemingly "normal" person suddenly starts screaming the most foul-mouthed obscenities at the top of her lungs at her imaginary friends on the bus. Serious case of the Tourettes.

So I moved a few seats over and finished the ride sitting next to this guy with his head buried in his coat collar. Sure, he smelled like Boris Yeltsin's breath (and I mean at this very moment), but at least he was quiet.

    Being a "man of the people" I took quite a few buses in the bay area..my fav. has to be the one that runs from close to Union Square into China town and into North Beach ... many Asian individuals carrying recently slaughtered livestock and Italian tourists asking "si mangia bene a North Beach"? before I answer I would ask "siete Juventini?" and then decide whether to tell them to eat at Alioto's or direct them to a decent place. :cheesy:

    My first day in San Fran I was excited to show my eurochick the city and told her 'let's take a little walk' which began at Union Square..onto Market to the the Giants new home through Embarcadero into Fishermans Wharf up to North Beach ... her shoes became so worn out that even Pado wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

    now this question is pretty much out of topic.but i was wondering,which city,is historically the most succesfull one(with regards to trophies won) in europe?lets keep limit this to the major leagues in europe ie italy,spain,england,germany,france,holland,protugal.
    i was guessing its turin because its home to 2 clubs ; one that was easily the best in the world at its peak(torino) and a club that is one of the biggest in the world right now(juventus).
    or could it be milan?with inter and AC still one of the biggest clubs in europe.
    or london?with clubs like arsenal,chelsea and spurs who form a big part of english footballing history.

    i coulnt come up with a definite answer because there could be clubs that were big during their time but are virtually unknown now.
    so,does anyone have a clue as to what is the most succesful footballing CITY in europe?

    Well, it sure as heck isn't Hull. You forgot Madrid in your list - their footballing successes in the 50s in particular were astounding, and the recent Galacticos team (before they started collecting their pensions) were almost in the same league, winning the CL thrice in five years.

    Ahhhh ... the 30 Stockton bus. That's another favorite of mine. If you get on just the right corner, the bus doors will swing open and in a blink of an eye hoardes of pink-plastic-bag-toting Chinese women will run you over like a herd of buffalo before you get a chance to take your first step onto the bus. My back still carries many of their permanent indentations made by imitation Gucci footwear ... this is, of course, one of the many reasons Pado could never see me with my shirt off.

    You see, we dot com millionaires like to mingle with the common folk too once in a while. ;)

    That's what I did to my wife the first time I took her to Rome. Problem was she got incredibly hungry during the ordeal, to the point I was dragging her past the Sant'Andrea al Quirinale and she was like, "Yeah, yeah ... another great Bernini church. Can we get something to eat?!" Blasphemy!

    true I heard that Mark Cuban allows his drivers to wear jeans and that Sergey Brin likes his butler to call him "S-Man".

    Blasphemy indeed but in all fairness to her, Rome is a bit more difficult to walk through given the cobblestones, Formula One like drivers at every intersection, hordes of tourists stopping in the middle of the street asking for "the Steps from Spain-thingy" and young gypsies preying on wide eyed tourists..then again the hills of San Fran are not for the faint of heart.

    P.S. I actually have a friend who lives in Pacific Heights who said it was quite odd living next to neighbors with their "Arnold for Governor" signs on the front lawn.
