How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

Where has this come from? Seen a lot of it about recently, but nothing to actually back it up.
There was that post about his Instagram the other day, but I thought that was debunked in the thread?
Why is everyone suddenly convinced Woltemade and Howe have had a massive falling out?

It’s good to keep the tradition going. Feel bad for Woltemade though, he deserves minutes and he hasn’t done much wrong.
I'll happily hold my hands up and say I was completely wrong about Osula last summer.

Osula comes close as he cuts in off the right but his low shot is put wide of the target.

◆ Hidden Gems — Buried by the Algorithm
@NUFC Tell the DJ well done, he took notice of what happened in the game and played Joy Division at the end so fans could sing along.
This shouldn’t be difficult but usually get it wrong
@RenTurnner @NUFC You forgot this season because of one game that second half was everything that's wrong with this team and manager the sheep though one win and they're happy clapping again, fuck off
The down votes don’t mean you’re wrong. It means a huge part of our fanbase have completely lost their heads.
@HarveyArm09 @NUFC Nothing to do with Eddie, had we actually had good finishers we’d be siting top 4 right now. But let’s blame Howe for missed opportunities like Wissa’s misses. Keep hating.
The venn diagram of Howe out wankers and people who think this kid is a great player who hasn't put a foot wrong is just a circle
Okay, so what is it then? You think the kid has been crushing it in training, totally engaged, hasn’t put a foot wrong and Howe just refuses to play him over Osula and Wissa because why exactly? Some petty personal vendetta? Please
@NUFC 6'7" and still has better feet than most wingers in this league. The most over-hated player in the PL proves the doubters wrong again. If he played for a 'Big 6' club, we’d be calling him world-class. Fact. 🧱"
@NUFC If Dan Burn was born in Madrid or Munich, he’d have 50 international caps by now. England has a strange obsession with 'flashy' defenders who can’t actually defend a back post. Burn is a tactical masterclass in a giant’s body. He’s the most neglected elite talent in English football history. End of story. 🦁🏴
Why take a photo when we've been embarrassingly bad, on the worst loss streak in 5 years, sends the wrong message and makes us look a bit cringe like.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong he did mess up, first goal I could see his thinking, but you can pin the blame on the keeper when the defence was shocking today
◆ Algo-Amplified — Boosted Without Substance
Forget the terrible run, just beating Brighton AND Welbeck not scoring is reason enough to celebrate
Multiple things can be true at once. Happy for the 3 points. Happy for Eddie that the players showed fight for him. But we have played about 10 games this year just like that we have lost & simply got lucky today between multiple Pope errors and Minteh missing a sitter. Wissa was absolutely horrific
Btw we aren't playing a flat 3 in midfield here out of possession. Willock pushes up with Osula and Joelinton and Tonali are often dropping back. So now the opposition can't just play through our midfield 3 and leave us with absolutely no defence.

Willy scores again
I just heard a commentator say, Joelinton didn't mean to hurt him.
Aye for that he'd have to touch him to begin with lol
I actually love Murphy sometimes. The shithousery is next level
Second commentator (Scottish guy) sounds like he's having a stroke when pronouncing half the names on the pitch.
The camera work on this match is shit as our defending. What are some of these angles
commentator - not sure that's a foul. - as murphy is getting undressed by the defender

The one time we actually put a good ball in against this team of giants, Mitoma is sleeping.
Where has this come from? Seen a lot of it about recently, but nothing to actually back it up.
There was that post about his Instagram the other day, but I thought that was debunked in the thread?
Why is everyone suddenly convinced Woltemade and Howe have had a massive falling…
It’s good to keep the tradition going. Feel bad for Woltemade though, he deserves minutes and he hasn’t done much wrong.
I'll happily hold my hands up and say I was completely wrong about Osula last summer.

Newcastle Fans Divided Over Lucky Victory Against Brighton
Controversial
Newcastle supporters are sharply split on whether their 3-1 win was deserved or a fortunate escape, with some crediting defensive mistakes and missed chances by Brighton players, whilst others insist Newcastle were poor but benefited from opposition profligacy and keeper errors. The discussion hinges on whether this represents a genuine three points or an undeserved result that papered over ongoing defensive vulnerabilities.
Minteh's Missed Chance Haunts Brighton in Defeat
Emerging
Controversial
Brighton fans are frustrated with Yankuba Minteh's wastefulness in front of goal, particularly a glaring miss from close range that could have changed the course of the match as Newcastle built a commanding lead. The discussion centres on whether Fabian Hürzeler should have substituted the winger earlier, with some questioning whether Minteh has the clinical finishing required at this level.
Brighton Fans Divided Over Bart Verbruggen Display
Controversial
Brighton supporters are split in their assessment of goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen's performance during the 3-1 defeat to Newcastle, with some crediting him for solid saves whilst others blame him directly for lapses in concentration that contributed to conceding goals.

Newcastle Fans Debate Osula's Breakthrough Season Form
Controversial
Newcastle supporters are enthusiastically backing striker William Osula after his impressive performance, comparing his efficiency and output favourably against teammates like Gordon and Wissa, with detailed statistical breakdowns showing he ranks in the top 7% of Premier League forwards for goals per 90 and boasts elite crossing accuracy. The discussion reflects growing confidence that Osula should be a cornerstone of Eddie Howe's attack moving forwards, with fans suggesting the club should build its team around him rather than pursuing other attacking options.
Brighton Fans Criticise Hürzeler's Late Substitution Timing
Emerging
Brighton supporters are frustrated that manager Fabian Hürzeler waited until deep into the second half to make substitutions, despite the team's attack struggling and creative players like Mitoma and Kadıoğlu being ineffective.

Dan Burn's Tactical Role and Controversial Yellow Card
Controversial
Newcastle fans and neutrals debated Burn's deployment as a hybrid left-back-winger — mirroring Manchester City's use of Nico O'Reilly — whilst Brighton supporters were frustrated by what they perceived as a soft yellow card against him compared to the physicality allowed elsewhere in the match.

Newcastle's Goalkeeper Praised But Criticised With Ball At Feet
Controversial
Newcastle supporters are having a heated debate about their goalkeeper's performance, with almost universal agreement that whilst he made crucial saves and is a solid shot-stopper, his distribution and ball-playing abilities are genuinely problematic and a significant liability for the team.

Controversial
Newcastle United supporters are expressing embarrassment and frustration after their defence fell apart in the second half, allowing Brighton to claw back into a match they dominated early on with two quick headers.

Newcastle supporters are split between relief at the 3-1 win over Brighton and deeper concerns about Eddie Howe's management, with some questioning his tactical decisions, squad rotation timing, and whether a managerial change might be needed despite backing from the board.

Newcastle Fans Clash Over Mentality and Disappointment
Emerging

Emerging
Newcastle supporters are divided over a high-profile £70m summer signing's recent performances and perceived lack of effort on the pitch, with many questioning whether he's already checked out mentally ahead of a potential summer exit.

Brighton Fans Debate Team Selection and Tactical Adjustments
Emerging
Controversial
Brighton supporters are analysing their narrow 3-1 defeat, with particular focus on whether starting Lewis Dunk and other key players instead of the side that took the pitch would have changed the result.

Newcastle Fans Divided Over First-Half Collapse Defence
Controversial
Newcastle supporters are heavily criticising the team's defensive frailty in the opening 45 minutes, with Dan Burn's two headers conceded and repeated individual errors allowing Brighton to build an early 2-0 lead that ultimately proved costly. Whilst the side secured three points, the conversation centres on how poor defending and lack of concentration nearly cost them the match, with fans frustrated that defensive lapses rather than attacking shortcomings decided the game.
Newcastle's Tactical Gamble Leaves Fans Frustrated
Brighton fans and neutral observers are debating whether Newcastle's counter-attacking approach and defensive shape—particularly a three-at-the-back system—are fundamentally flawed or merely let down by individual execution and poor finishing.

Newcastle Fans Divided on Barnes' Late Winner Impact
Emerging
Following Harvey Barnes' dramatic 90+5' goal to seal Newcastle's 3-1 victory, supporters are sharply split on his overall contribution, with some hailing him as a clinical finisher worthy of regular starts whilst others criticise him for offering little across the ninety minutes before capitalising on an already-decided match.

Newcastle Fans Rage at Joelinton's Refereeing Immunity
Newcastle supporters are furious that Joelinton escaped punishment for multiple off-the-ball fouls and aggressive challenges throughout the match, with many convinced the midfielder receives preferential treatment from referees who overlook his notoriously dirty playing style.

Brighton Fans Blame Week Off for Toothless Display
Brighton supporters are venting frustration after a disappointing performance, with many pointing the finger at manager Fabian Hürzeler's decision to give the squad a week off from training as the culprit for their lack of cutting edge in attack.

Newcastle Survive Sloppy Display Against Brighton
Controversial

Newcastle Fans Worry About Nick Pope's Future
Newcastle supporters are concerned about goalkeeper Nick Pope's lack of playing time and his visibly unhappy demeanour on the bench during the Brighton match, with many suggesting he could leave the club in the summer if his situation doesn't improve.

Newcastle Fans React to Crucial Victory Over Brighton
Emerging
Newcastle supporters are expressing relief and cautious optimism after a 3-1 win that halts their recent struggles, though many acknowledge the performance was unconvincing and worry the team could still squander their position before the season ends. Brighton fans, conversely, feel their side underperformed and allowed Newcastle to escape with an undeserved result despite their own superior form coming into the match.
Newcastle Fans Question If One Win Changes Anything
Newcastle supporters are deeply divided over whether Eddie Howe's managerial position has been salvaged by the 3-1 victory, with many arguing that a single positive result — especially one reliant on Brighton's goalkeeper errors — does nothing to address the squad's fundamental tactical and structural problems that have plagued them since January. The overarching sentiment is one of frustrated relief rather than genuine confidence, with significant portions of the fanbase still demanding a managerial change despite the win.
Newcastle Fans Demand Manager Sacked Over Tactical Errors
Emerging
Newcastle United supporters are calling for Eddie Howe's dismissal following repeated defensive lapses and poor decision-making they believe cost them in matches against top sides like Arsenal and today's loss to Brighton.

"My my Danny’s,fine wine, play the ball to him. He’ll score every time"
"Amazing goal!"
"It looked like we made more or as many chances for them. It happens a lot, we don't focus in defence."
"to be fair, counter attacking football is a valid tactic. Newcastle could have scored more today."
"Play that same game 100 times we win 90. Tough loss. Onto Wolves. UTA"
"Shame gents especially after that run of good form, we did have good form, Newcastle needed that win as did we, let’s just hope the other teams only get a draw or lose now because from here on out it’s ours to lose especially with the idea of europa league being a possibility still"
"Small margins being errors and missed close chances can make all the difference"
"I agree, we were better than them, we only lost due to players mistakes. I still believe in this team because if we were at least a bit better in finishing our chances we would've at least drawn or even won this game. Just a bad day and we must keep pushing!"
"but to be fair, they did have chances with the counter attacks so.. ill just say we deserved at least a point there."
"You only deserve what you get after 90 mins. Newcastle deserved loads of points in other games but ended up with nothing. Just take your beating"

His attitude has obviously been shit in training. Wissa getting in ahead of him today proves it.
I’m surprised more people aren’t calling him out on it. If you want to play, then show it in practice.
For some reason Woltemade has some barrier on here that prevents him from ever getting criticized. Reminds me of that Gordon Ramsey meme “oh dear oh dear, gorgeous”

The venn diagram of Howe out wankers and people who think this kid is a great player who hasn't put a foot wrong is just a circle

Howe has pretty much said it without singling out Nick directly. “I play players based on what I see in training” or something along those lines

Given we already used up a sub for Wieffer, we aren't probably gonna see another sub until the 60-70th minute.
↳
Got to use it at half time as it’s ‘free’ then.
↳
It's not free. Only a concussion sub is free.
↳
It is in terms of stoppages. Doesn’t count as one of the three windows you have to make subs in.
↳
It does count towards stoppages as well no? Just search up and it says yes?
↳
Wiki says this:
A maximum of 3 "substitution opportunities" are provided to a side during normal time, and an extra opportunity during extra time. Substitutions can be made during half-time breaks during normal and extra time, and full time breaks (before the start of extra time), but do not count as substitution opportunities.
↳
That doesn't mention anything about injury stoppages.
↳
It’s just the relevant snippet of a bigger article.
Original point I was trying to make is that if you make an forced first half substitution, you only have two second half windows to make changes in, so it can make sense to use the ‘free’ window at half time as it doesn’t count as one of the three substitution stoppages.
↳
But we didn't need squad changes for the half-time.
↳
I think we probably did. We were losing 2-0. I’d have liked to have seen Rutter introduced then.
"Fantasising about an alternate timeline where that overhead kick went in "
"Fantasising about an alternate timeline where that overhead kick went in "
Babis and Rutter should’ve came on 10 mins earlier. I really want to see Babis get some extended run at some point, he looks good
↳
At least
And Minteh didn't send that tap-in chance into outer space.
↳
And Bart didn't gift two open nets
↳
He didn't? He made a mistake for the first goal but afterwards was impeccable as a shot stopper. Without his performance we'd be down by like 5-0 by first half.
↳
The last goal he took the opposite of the correct line and the result was the open net
↳
By that time the game was already over, and that goal was more on Van Hecke than Verbruggen.
↳
And with his performance we lost 3-1. Brilliant.
↳
Would've lost much worse if not for his performance. Also you're acting as if he makes mistakes like this every other game? He has one of the highest number of saves in the Premier League among GKs, but ONE mistake and suddenly he's a pariah? What kind of mentality is this?
↳
Not saying he's a pariah and it's not ONE mistake he's made,.
He's an excellent keeper but today he was no hero and he's directly responsible for our loss.
"We need to keep them together for one more season at least"
"We need to keep them together for one more season at least"
Can’t agree more.🙌With the three of them on the court, both the offense and defense are outstanding today.👏
↳
The down votes don’t mean you’re wrong. It means a huge part of our fanbase have completely lost their heads.
↳
He’s being downvoted for using the term “court” instead of “pitch” and “offense and defense” instead of “attack and defence”. Most likely a plastic yank
↳
Wow. Didn’t know it was a crime to use your own language’s terminology. Some of our fans are really just a bunch of dingalings.
↳
If I decided to start watching basketball I wouldn’t go around using football terminology in discussions about basketball. It simply shows a clear lack of knowledge around the game if you can’t even grasp the basic terminology
↳
I’m sure there are worse fucking crimes. Lighten up ffs.
↳
Murder is a worse crime than attempted murder, that doesn’t mean attempted murder should go unpunished
↳
🤣 The wild thing is that you’re serious.
↳
Do we play football on a football pitch or a court?
↳
🤣 This guy is intensifying his seriousness! Depends what amenities are closest and most convenient.

"As someone who is firmly Howe In at least for the next full season, I think what we’re seeing here is what he’s capable of once he gets a few weeks of working with a consistent starting 11 on the trai"
It’s one game, we were shit at the start of the season, and even if this was true you’re saying we need to avoid europe. Did you post this when we lost the last 4 games?
I think it’s also signs of what he’s capable of if he has enough strength in depth within a side to call upon. We simply haven’t all season. Hopefully it’s something we start to build into the team for future seasons from the summer.
It looked like we had been but with 3 windows of no incomings until last summer we lost the consistency and edge we were building.
Last summer’s incomings were quantity and honestly not necessarily all of top quality.
So perhaps Howe has something when he says he likes to see 3 top quality incomings coming in each window.
Him staying in my opinion is down to if he can change tactics and playing style. We currently can't play possession or break a low block, without being able to control games we'll not get to the same level as the elite clubs in Europe and that's targeted in just 3-4 years, whether we think it's realistic or not.
I'm not convinced he can change but am happy to be proven wrong, hopefully it doesn't cost us progression.
What???
↳
Some of these comments lol. It’s one game, and we’ve lost the last 4!
Im not massively Howe out but think its time for him to probably leave - I dont think we are seeing much yet. We haven’t outclassed Brighton, the scoreline could easily be the other way round
Aaand.. if a manager cant get results when playing midweek games then they arent the right fit
I am firmly Howe in as well and I agree. I hope though, that he will show signs of figuring out how to have a successful league campaign next to a euro run, if not I'm having a hard time seeing him as the solution.
↳
Yes, this is the key if he’s to be here beyond next season. I’d honestly prefer we qualified for Europa than CL next season, much easier games to build up a good rhythm playing twice a week
We got a goal from their keeper making a pope style calamity which unsettled them. Steady.
Why it wasnt the case vs Palace and Bournemouth?
Brighton just have the ball more than us, and we can play on counters.
