Football is a game of fine margins. Win, lose or draw. Keep or sell. Renewal or sacking. Yet, most of all, the difference often comes down to success for a team or failure.
The definitions for these two outcomes are very different for every club. The expectations on a team vary, despite the ultimate goal being to finish as high as possible. Speak to a Manchester City fan and ask what they constitute as success and it will differ from a chat with a Burnley supporter. Context is key and for an Arsenal fan, sometimes it can be very difficult to define.
The Arsenal problem with success and failure lies in the expectations of the fan base varying so different from one to another. The club is considered one of the biggest in the world thanks to the work of so many great custodians, managers and players who won title after title to establish Arsenal as an English giant.
