Re: 82% possession

Possession stats are always different depending on the website you go on. After the game on Sky they had 82% down. Surely that is a record for the Prem?

SSN had it down as 79% when I was in the boozer after the game.

Either way it's a lot!

Beer goggles syndrome, perhaps?

Re: 82% possession

Bigga is right, they definitely had 82%. Whether they amended it God only knows.

Yaya Toure 101 passes completed from 103 attempts.

Think even Barca would be proud of ball retention like that.

Re: 82% possession

Was 82% by end of the game according to sky stats, although no doubt this will have been marked down to 50% by the morning. If this was the scum then I'm sure several sky presenters would have drowned in semen by now.

82% possession a PL record?

And he was flinging balls around the park like a cricketer, distance-wise. Incredible game for him, whenever he gets hold of the ball (as with Silva) I just know that the ball is going somewhere good in a second or two.

blackburn made us look simply awesome 2day. park bus at all costs? does park bus work at etihad? well 13 in a row this season says no, so y bother

Can partly understand the tactic at nil nil but when you are 2 and 3 down what's the point you may as well try and get forwarding and try to get something from the game. Hard to see beyond Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn for the drop - unless of course (fingers crossed) Hughes takes QPR down !!!
