Shows how far we have fallen that we are glad we only lost 2-0, in a week where we have conceded 12 goals without reply…..
Blimey it’s worse than I thought !
Could have sworn we scored 3 against Chester, but I might have been dreaming 😴

Wow. For convenience, your week (Loan-star) starts at half time last Saturday.

We happened to win that game against Chester with a good display.

And we have conceded 12 goals since we last scored. Or do you think that’s a positive?

Of course I don't, but that's not what you originally wrote. I replied to what you originally wrote.

If your week starts at halftime last Saturday and ends at halftime this Saturday - you are indeed factually correct. Congrats...

Ah now that is a factually accurate statement. If you said that in the first place then fair enough.

Only if you are being pedantic. 12 goals without reply in a week has exactly the same meaning

It's not a week though is it!! A week to me starts on a Monday.

We've conceded 10 in a week with no reply.

This is bad enough, and proves the point you were making.

You took two extra goals for extra effect ;)

The 3 goals have sweet fuck all to do with it! Are you being deliberately thick? 12 goals without reply!!! How simple is that to comprehend?

It does contain 7 days, yes.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday.

Start again.

Don't add a little bit more on.

We've played 2 games this week.

Simple as that.

My point was half serious - half fun.

It's a bad enough look to let in ten goals, in two matches. Within in a week, with no reply.

I see what you're saying - I just feel there's no need to stretch it.

Didn't he say 12 goals conceded in two and a half matches and/or since we last scored?

Where has the reference to a week came from, have I been sleep reading again?

Apparently a week now starts around 4pm on a Saturday. Perhaps by that reckoning we can claim that we drew 0-0 yesterday 🤪

Sure.

If the week starts at 4pm Saturday last, then it must end 3.59:59pm Saturday, so 0-12 it was last week. And yes, 0-0 so far this week.

In itself factually inaccurate as Sunday is the first day of the week.
