"Something about football that pishes me off."

The use of 'you', 'we' and 'us' when you lot are babbling on about your favourite teams..

You're not part of the teams.. You're not a part of the actualy comapny that owns the team.. heck you probably don't even hold a single share in your team...

So WHY THE FUNK do you use 'us', 'we' and 'you' as if you're some part of the team...

Someone explain, please.

Supporters are just as important to a club as shareholders are. Supporters invest plenty of money into the club through buying shirts and match tickets amongst other things.

Not to mention the extra drive the supporters give the team when they have home advantage.

cos its our supporter identity. We have pledged our allegiances and become part of that group of supports who have given our support to this team.

It's being a good fan. It's 'your' team, the team you follow.

Meh, dunno I've always just done it :D

I suppose it's quicker to say/type than constantly saying/spelling the team name out, unless your team is less than 3 letters long. :)
