I aiways buy three season tickets for my boys and me and in recent seasons I didn't mind missing a few games. Back in June, the conversation went something like this
Mrs Malaka 'Would you like to go and see a show for your birthday' ?
Malaka: 'Yeah, I've never seen one, that would be cool'
Mrs Malaka: 'We could make a weekend of it and do some Christmas shopping in London'
Malaka: 'Yeah, I don't mind'
Mrs Malaka: 'I've booked thriller for 28th November and a nice hotel for the night, we can go to China Town and have some romance'

Now at the time I really didn't give a shit, another cold Saturday afternoon in the lifeless Ricoh with nothing really to play for, besides, the fixtures weren't out yet and I might still be able to go.

Two weeks ago Mrs Malaka said 'don't forget we have our weekend in London'

I am so gutted that my Gooner Father in Law gets my ticket and gets to take my boys this afternoon, while my phone bleeps on my BBC Sport app.

Enjoy the game you lucky bastards!

"...we can go to China Town and have some romance."

I think I know which establishment you're heading for

I think she's booked the wrong show
Should have been Les Miserables as that's how you're going to feel after the Thriller @ the Ricoh.
On a pedantic note If today Is not your actual birthday and purely the closest weekend available you could argue consumer rights stipulate that nothing in the smallprint Indicates a different date Is applicable. ;-)

I am in a similar situation. She who needs to be obeyed booked tickets for Dickens World. Today at 3. So, do you say no? And have a miserable life? Or just say yes my little swamp duck? I go for the latter. Just have to keep checking Twitter.

BBC Sport app is rubbish, download the 'Goal' app, much quicker!

Have a great time traipsing around the crowded smog-filled streets. There may be a happy ending in China town though!

I would prefer my wife to be miserable than me.

Dickens World??? You have my sympathies Covrock.
Unless you suggest she tries a Dickens Cider

Why not?

She works Monday to Friday. I get 4 whole weekends off in 10. I normally spend one of these with her. She would prefer me to be happy than miserable. And she has a weekend away whenever she wants. This way we enjoy our time together more.

And she also likes her football so she understands

im in the same boat too, we're all going to a concert. you know things are different as well because last year on the couple of games i missed i couldnt give the tickets away. today though ive got people queuing up for them.

Mine also loves shopping. And I am not allowed to carry any of it. Unless it is food shopping that is. Then I carry it all.

Sounds like you haven't finished training yours yet

Awesome?

She supports Norwich and Celtic. Doesn't understand that you're only supposed to support one club

Every year for as long I can remember we've gone round my sister's place on boxing day, hasn't really bothered me before, we've either been away or doing crap, but on bonfire night when we did the traditional fireworks I dropped the bombshell that this year I would giving it the swerve and going up the ricoh, well you would have thought I'd killed somebody from the reaction, but fuck it, I'm going up tbe match, if she wants to come with me that's great but if she wants to sit home sulking trying to make me feel guilty it ain't working.
