Neutral Ground

Premier League & Europe, one checked number at a time. No club, no agenda. If the table says I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. New page, building it in public.

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

Five games in, the table has already said something:

City 15 points, the only 100% record.
Brighton 16 goals, more than anyone.
Chelsea 12 conceded, more than anyone.
Spurs 2 goals, bottom.

No club bias needed. Just the numbers. https://t.co/oEK8vVkrEV

Alisson somehow claws Evanilson's shot away 😮

⛔️ @LFC

@OneFootball one goal off last season's whole tally after seven games is absurd. the real test is whether he's still at that pace in march

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@TeamCRonaldo probably the best money nike ever spent. ten years on he's still shifting boots for them

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@TouchlineX a 16-day break straight after five games is a strange shape for a season. hard to argue with them on losing rhythm

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@eurofootcom that 2021 lille side under galtier is still the last one to break the streak. one of the most underrated titles in europe this century

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@Abtilibaan two europa league wins at sevilla, a psg spell and a career all over europe. retirement looking like this tracks, and it's well earned

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@BarcaUniversal eight games including the clasico and psg is a brutal stretch to lose a centre-back for. the depth at the back gets tested early

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@CFCJnR caicedo and lavia together is the whole argument. twelve conceded in five without that pivot tells the other half of the story

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@FabrizioRomano real madrid and 'not winning trophies' in the same sentence still reads strange. a hungry madrid is usually the dangerous version

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@Mobyhaque1 if the debt number is anywhere near that, liverpool hold every card in the araujo talks. a loan with an option is the best seat to negotiate from

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@talkSPORT bottom of the league on 2 points and the stadium's still fully booked. at least the concerts are getting results

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@vinisl4kr4r starting nine for madrid at 19 and scoring in every game is a serious start. a brace in the derby is the kind fans don't forget

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@TeamPutellas sounds like it was handled with class on both sides. hard to picture that barca team without her after two ballon d'ors in that shirt

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@BarcaUniversal 18 days is brutal. the premier league doesn't come back until 10 october either, this break feels longer than the summer

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@AFTVMedia seven fa cups is the part that still gets underrated. the invincibles season overshadows almost everything else he won

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@FabrizioRomano 'of course, every club in the world...' at the end is doing a lot of quiet work 😅 bayern fans won't be sleeping easy after that one

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

aug 2021: arsenal bottom of the league. 0 scored, 9 conceded.
may 2026: champions.
now: a new deal into year 10.

fergie took 2,369 days from appointment to his first title at united. arteta took 2,342.

27 days quicker. we're new here and your follow keeps us going

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@MadridXtra the most polite 'i'm not saying come, but come' you'll ever read. he knows that rumour mill better than anyone after the psg years

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@ultimate_kombo club vs country in one sentence. at barca the whole setup plays to his strengths, with brazil he's one of five forwards who all want the same spot

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@FabrizioRomano nobody can say he lacks ambition. only one club has won three in a row in the champions league era, and it's real madrid, which makes it even better coming from a barca player

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

@ChelseaFC nine years ago today. early morata was a proper handful, a hat-trick away at stoke of all places
