Newcastle United supporters have significantly adjusted their points expectations for the opening six matches of the 2026/27 Premier League season following the team's initial results. Under manager Matthias Jaissle, the club recorded a 2-2 draw at St James’ Park against Liverpool before securing a 2-0 victory away at Tottenham. Prior to the season, only 13 percent of surveyed fans anticipated the club would earn more than 10 points from their first six games. That figure has climbed to 78 percent following the team's four-point start. Newcastle United faces a upcoming schedule that includes matches against Bournemouth, Leeds, Hull, and Coventry to complete the six-game stretch. The club currently holds four points out of a possible six.

- 10:38 AMYahoo Sports — Very interesting change when asked Newcastle fans again how many points from first 6 matches
"The question we were asking fans on Tuesday: How many points do you think Newcastle United will now pick up in their first six matches? This was a repeat of a poll we put out before the 2026/27 Premier League season had kicked off. We thought it would be interesting to see what, if any, change there had been after one week and two NUFC Premier League matches of the season.
