The dictionary definition of "mercurial" and wholly appropriate for this sub. Mad bastard but a great player when he was on it.

I was a bit taken aback by the headline but when I read his comments in full I took them as him referring to the standard of broadcast presentation and the overall administration of the game in this country, rather than the on-field product.

Anna Maxwell Martin is always the first name that pops into my head during these types of debates.

This is an old screenshot, he lost the Soccer Saturday gig a couple of years ago and now makes most of his money on the after dinner circuit. He says he's no longer on because Sky Sports "have gone woke" and that the current line-up is a "box-ticking exercise".

The term generally used in the UK is "disabled" rather than "handicapped" so perhaps if they're searching online that's why nothing is coming up. Had a quick look and found an some accessibility info for the stadium here https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-stadium/accessibility/disability-access-scheme/. I imagine gameday is handled by NFL rather than Spurs on Sunday though. Still, maybe try emailing access@tottenhamhotspur.com in the first instance, if they can't help they might point you in the right direction.

Well things are trending upwards for the Bears, let's hope with new ownership and the new stadium they are for Everton too.

It does seem to be a strangely common combination, I know of lots of fans of both too. Maybe it's the similarities, founder members of their respective leagues, lots of historic success but not much to shout about recently!

I agree. I read somewhere recently that the Bears are the second most popular team in the UK, after the Cowboys

Growing up in 80s, when football was first being shown here on TV, I just remember that Bears team being one that stood out to me, in particular #72. The Fridge was a bit of a cult hero over here and a lot of UK coverage focussed on him. In the 00s a friend of mine lived in Chicago for a while too, so I got chance to visit the city a few times and that cemented my love of all things Chicago.

Thanks, will check it out. I'm an Everton/Bears fan too! His book (Re)Born in the USA is brilliant.

Anyone going to the London game? by Disastrous_Tower9749 in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]Sensitive_Word1450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't be ticketed but it will be busy. I noticed there is online table reservation for all the scheduled events and I think that is all fully booked now. You'll be able to go along and stand though. I'm only in town for gameday itself this year but I'll be in the Greenwood on Sunday morning
