Ok so being the romantic soul that I am, Mrs Gonzo and I will be of to Paris shortly as part of the good womans birthday celebrations.
A wonderful time will be had visiting the many attractions, bistros and bars it is something that she is very much looking forward to especially as we have 3 kids who are lets say quite challenging at times.
So now the help part, how do I get round the fact (and I mean fact as it will happen regardless) that I will be sat with a

watching Liverpool play Man City on the Sunday while in Paris?
So once again get your excuses out/thinking caps on, how do I do this without the good woman assaulting me or sulking, crying because I'm a selfish batard who does **** all but watch footy.
Your help as with the nuts thread is fully appreciated.
