I don't think your comment about 'we won' is fair. A great part of the joy of following a sport like football is the team spirit - the players themselves will acknowledge that knowing they have their supporters gives them a great boost.
To most true football supporters it's also a community thing, the local team represents the people of that area and there's a real relationship there. A guy with a season ticket who goes and stands on those terraces come rain, hail or shine is as much a part of the bigger team as the star striker or the guy who sells the pies at half time. They all contribute to make the football experience what it is.
This does not apply to Manchester United fans, naturally. ;)
