Week-on-week change in fan sentiment across every club the report covers.
By Sam Hannan
This week exposed a stark split between global stability and individual club volatility, as Nashville SC surged while Manchester United suffered a staggering collapse. Manchester United saw the week's sharpest decline with a weekly change of -39, while the global average slipped just -0.38 points. Across multiple leagues, supporter perception drifted away from baseline performances to create a clear results mismatch.
Trabzonspor recorded a massive narrative disconnect of +34.50, where fan mood ran far ahead of baseline performance expectations. Nottingham Forest and Arsenal sat on the opposite end, recording narrative gaps of -31.20 and -28.50 respectively as supporter sentiment dropped well below baseline metrics.
