Following a poor start to the season under Steve Bruce, the Newcastle United takeover in October completely transformed fortunes on Tyneside.
Although it would take another few months for the Eddie Howe effect to be realised, the Newcastle fan base ended the season in a very positive mood.
Fresh research carried out by OLBG has revealed the happiest fans in the Premier League by analysing each team's social media channels to reveal those with the most followers, the average number of likes and love to angry ratio in order to calculate an overall fan happiness score.
Here, using this research, we rank every Premier League club from the side that had the most positive fan base on social media, to the team that had the most negative fans last season.
