You'll also find that you develop a sort of fondness for that team in real life. I've never had a favorite team in real life but I started to like Colchester United when they were in the English Championship (one division below the Premier League) a couple of seasons ago. They were playing in a 6500 seat "stadium" and were knocking on the door of possible promotion when they hovered around 3rd place for a while. They have since dropped to the next division below but they are still one of the first results I look for each week.

Very true. My very first game was with Hull City (they were recommended to me as an easy team to take over in 2002 or so), and I've had a fondness for them IRL ever since.
