Why did the Sky Sports commentator keep saying tonight that Pep Guardiola has reached his first Wembley final when in fact he reached the FA cup final last year and a few Wembley finals with Barcelona?

City have a very strong team out tonight, taking no chances
Beaten 2-3 tonight with the last kick of the game and so close to 1-1 in the first leg. A fantastic effort by Bristol City.

Probably gave City their hardest games this season

Bristol the biggest city in England never to have a Premier League team.
Having two medium-sized clubs in a rugby town is part of the problem.

There are no proofs, only opinions.

Forgot it was a Wembley semi final that Arsenal beat Manchester City in. He still reached a few Wembley finals before.

Did athelico Bilbao have a policy once that they only had a squad of players of basque origin? I just seen that Man City signed a French player of theirs and I always had this idea all Bilbao players were basque but I may have just took that notion.

It's still strict as ever. Part of France is in the Basque region so they qualify. Inaki Williams' family moved to Bilbao before he was born so that's how he qualifies.

Bilbao are one of the few professional clubs not set up as a corporation also.

Quite a significant part of Southern France is Basque. Biarritz and Bayonne, the big French Rugby clubs are proudly Basque. Actually Catalonia runs into France as well. Perpignon are Catalan.

If your granny once lived in the Basque Country for a period of time a few decades ago, they'll say it's enough to claim you as Basque and therefore sign you.

Have backed Spurs. A win and a 3-1 win also... Utd could surprise me but Spurs have hit a rich vein of form lately while Utd have grinded out results
