and 9 times out of 10 when you are 100 yards from the end of a duel carriageway there is an Artic Lorry up ahead and you don't have enough road left to pass it out....

League in Sydney and AFL in Melbourne. Good few times I've come across people saying "we" and "us" when referring to the clubs they support.

Melbourne and Sydney are both in Australia. They're not talking about teams in a different country and referring to them as "us" and "you," are they?

I think if the person follows the team closely, and cares about whether they win or lose, you will find the use of 'we'. The EPL has a huge following in Ireland, thus 'we'. Most other mainstream sports have big Irish representatives, and so 'we' doesn't seem as incongruous.

However, I know of people who live in the US and call EPL teams 'we' as well. I also say 'we' at times when talking about the Arizona Cardinals :)
