Fans, here's a strange one. Every argument written on this market came from the Everton end. The Toffees' backers wrote theses, talked up precedent and called their pick the path of least resistance. Then the Morfi opinion market closed, and the crowd has Newcastle going through. "Newcastle advances" closes at 60% consensus against 40% for "Everton advances". The Everton camp did all the talking, and the crowd's conviction went the other way.

Where the crowd stands
  • Newcastle advances60%

Here's how it played out. When the chart starts (Oct 28), Newcastle stood at 50% and Everton at 50%.

Now listen to the outvoted camp. Cody, backing Everton, called it a "low drama setup, high conviction read, im comfortable". Memecoin mark went further: "precedent is screaming one direction and im listening." That's confident stuff. But confidence in a thesis doesn't count for much if the rest of the room isn't backing you, and it wasn't.

What does the history say? According to the 2025–26 EFL Cup records, Newcastle came into last season as defending champions and only went out in the semi-finals, to Manchester City. Everton reached this round by beating Wolves 1-0 in the third round, the 2026–27 EFL Cup page reports, and Newcastle won their third-round tie too. Fourth-round ties are scheduled for the week commencing 26 October 2026. One caution: that page doesn't name this exact pairing, so check the fixture details with the clubs.

My take, and it's just my opinion from the commentary box: the Everton camp may well be right about precedent. But if a cup run recently took you to a trophy and then to a semi-final, I'd argue that's the precedent that counts. Nobody in the Newcastle camp explained their pick, so we don't know the crowd's reasons. I'd put it down to the Magpies' recent cup pedigree, but that's my guess. Being the loudest side isn't the same as being right.

The crowd's verdict is its opinion on the tie. The fixture itself is the real test. Think the crowd got it wrong? Join the market on Morfi and put your opinion on the line.
