It is a term used by supporters all over the country when they get home after their team has lost, turn to their partners and say: "It was one of those days."
They say it but, for once, last week it was a very apt expression for Leicester City fans.
For the first 30 minutes against Nottingham Forest, it was only a combination of bad luck and great goalkeeping which stopped us from scoring.
But then Forest scored from practically their only two shots on goal in the game and we couldn't retrieve it, despite pounding the Forest goal.
I must give credit to Jack Hobbs, our former City defender, who had a tremendous game for the visitors.
It was only our first loss at home and, because it was against our massive rivals, it was a bitter pill to swallow.
As Nigel Pearson said, we have played worse than that and won this season.
It was simply one of those days.
It would have been nice to get it out of the system today with another game, but it is not to be.
It is a coincidence that all three defeats have come just before an international break and, after the previous two, we have bounced back with an unbeaten run.
Let's hope we can do that again.
The lads have played some tremendous stuff. With a third of the season gone, it has been a terrific campaign.
I don't like singling players out, but there have been a few who have really come to the fore so far.
Anthony Knockaert, Lloyd Dyer, Liam Moore and Jamie Vardy have been the ones who have stood out for me. The rest have been excellent as well.
So we look forward to Ipswich next Saturday, hopefully, with a fully fit squad.
It is great to see Ritchie De Laet back at the training ground after his shin injury.
Let's hope the lads on international break all come back in good shape .
I will take this opportunity to mention a terrific bloke and big City fan, Dave Robinson, who has lost his fight against a brain tumour.
He was a police officer and came down to the training ground a couple of years ago.
He was a lovely bloke and I will be going to his funeral. Our thoughts are with his family.
Also, a good friend of mine, Kenny Robinson, suddenly passed away recently and my thoughts go out to his lovely wife Dawn, son Tye and all the Robinson family. He used to have a box at the old Filbert Street and was a big fan.
Finally, if you want a good night out, I am the auctioneer at a Hollywood glamour extravaganza on November 23 at the Platinum Suite, in Leicester.
It is for a children's orphanage in Malawi.
I did it last year and it was a fantastic night.
There will be a Blues Brothers tribute band and the theme is Hollywood glamour or gangsters and molls. I am going as a gangster. It is a fantastic night and I have been looking forward to it for ages.

Every penny will go to these kiddies and it is great if we can raise some money for them, and have lots of fun in the process.
Let's roll.
