Certainly people prefer to see their team win the league. There's nothing wrong with that, imo.
Well you say it's just a game, but it's also a business, isn't it? It employs a bunch of people whose incomes and even jobs may be threatened should it start to enter a period of serious decline. So we may think 'It's just a game', but the people who run the club may not.
Well, quite. For the shareholders it is a serious matter and they are entitled to ask whatever questions they deem appropriate.
The rest of us are just watching a bunch of lads kick an inflated sphere about. It's nothing to get excited about.

Is it Decline and Fall again tonight? It's on at the same time as the Saxon violence thing, I think.
