That's a lovely story.

In another life before I moved over here my mate and I had flings with a couple of Basque girls in London.

We went over to see them but beforehand we learnt how to say "The Basques are the best" in Basque. It won us friends (and beers) everywhere, especially with the girls' families who were beyond delighted.

Neither he nor I have ever forgotten it, here's a phonetic version...

Eh-oo-skal-da-nak onna-nak dira

That last word almost rhymes with the names Vera or Keira but with a short /i/ sound, as in "it" or "big".

Wags

I blame the wags tagging along.
 
Zero chance of a ticket for me - all my old ST mates and cousins are going.

Not an easy journey from NI either so I’m not going near Bilbao sadly:-/
I have booked the day off afterwards tho so could be a heavy one out in Belfast or at home where I feel calmer and can shout at the telly without any Utd fans near me.

I was a bit like that with the City second leg in the previous round.

Saw them "score" in the last minute, went outside for a snout and a beer and a proper sulk. Left my phone indoors. A younger me might have cried.

Stomped about and grumbled out loud about "never having nice things". Hope the neighbours didn't notice.

Twenty minutes later I came back inside in a filthy mood and picked my phone up...

That city game was crazy. Thought we fucked it up when sterling scored. Mind you on first tv replay did actually think aguero was just offside. Went to VAR and it was called. Mad game.

Staying in San Sebastián but struggling to get to Bilbao on public transport. Train info i is contradictory depending on which website you look at, buses I think are full and taxis want a kidney but wont come back to pick you up.
I understand that taxis are not great in Bilbao especially as late as the game/ET/Pens/cup presentation ends.
Not hiring a car as no one wants to drive.

I’ve been trying to get a car and driver to take us to/from Vitoria. No luck so far, so I booked one of the last car parks I could find for 90 euros. It’s cancellable so I can keep looking for alternatives.
