Is this some sort of record?

Peterborough had 90% possession against Ipswich...so says BBC Sport. This can't be correct? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14514657.stm

Barcelona have 99% every game.

On Sky Sports it sadi they had 75% possestion.

Nonetheless, it was hardly impressive due to the quality of their opponents. Ipswich were dire and were down the 9 men for half of the game.

7-1....

Wouldn't surprise me.

Even 75% is very impressive, even if Ipswich did not offer a lot.

Their statistics are shit tbh.

Soccernet says the same thing -- but I havevtrouble believing that.

If you saw the game you wouldn't. In the second half Ipswich where just trying to get rid of it by hoofing it up the field and Peterborough went back on the attack and camped outside of their box.

This. When I got back home I flicked it on for the last half and it was basically Peterborough passing it around the edge of Ipswich's box trying to find a way in. Ipswich had no one upfront most of the time so when they hoofed it out, Peterborough just had another go.

This is quite funny when you consider that Ipswich Town was actually in 1st place after the first weekend of fixtures.
