Does winning matter?

In the aftermath of our loss yesterday, I was on Twitter and I remembered something.

It was something one of our Executives said in early 2013, about how winning and losing doesn't matter too much if your team is as big as Arsenal are.

Like Chris Jericho once said, wins and losses don't matter in sports entertainment.

During and after our loss yesterday, 'Arsenal' was tweeted over 1 million times in five hours on Twitter UK. Take into account all the times people tweeted #AFC, Wenger, #WengerOut etc. and we basically took over the platform for the rest of the day - a day which saw Team GB claim five Gold Medals.

They say any reaction is a good reaction, so do the Powers That Be at Arsenal even care that much about us taking high profile losses? Does it matter?

Win, lose or draw, Arsenal will still be one of the biggest teams in sports.

Fella, I've seen some very poor reads from you prior to this, but I'll give you credit, this is your best one yet.

I guess that's what Juve, Bayern, Man Utd, Man City, Real Madrid, Atletico and every other single massive club (or even football club) on this planet.

Liquid thinks that there's a one star bandit out for him because his tiny brain can't understand that it's just because his articles are absolute shiiite

Winning is important to the fans.
Winning might not be that important to club owners, so long as the attendances are good and the money continues to roll in!
