Such an angry individual... seek counseling and I disagree that "all" fans do it. I find it amusing when someone does it though.

Do all soccer fans refer to their favorite teams as "we" or something?

Chelsea takes it a step further and likes to do it in Match Recaps on their official site

Why? I refer to all of my teams as we. That's pretty widespread for fans of any team in any sport.

Why? There is a very reasonable explanation for the use of it. By saying "we", you are establishing fandom. If I were to say they every time I mentioned Arsenal, it would sound like they were just some team I was talking about. Saying we is just a way to express that that is your team.
