Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's a bad time for him to be going through an uncertain spell. I still think he's the best, but the problem is that when goalkeepers make mistakes the ball usually ends up in the back of the net."
Roy Evans, defending the goalkeeper dubbed David "Calamity" James.
"This win was a massive step for us. I said before the game that you have to earn the right to be champions and this is the right place to come and do it."
Alex Ferguson, starting to believe the title is United's.
"It was the wrong thing to do. But Sutton is a bit of a dizzy lad - a silly lad sometimes. I think he may have forgotten what had happened."
Tony Parkes, on the controversy over Blackburn's equaliser at Highbury.
"You can put it down to Blackburn's lack of sportsmanship, our guilt at not marking properly or to God - anything you want. In any event the championship is out of our reach now."
Arsene Wenger.
"I can't believe what happened. Kitson should never have taken that penalty but the players out there wanted him to get a hat-trick as if it was some testimonial game. They know they've got to win games like this and that was the killer."
Harry Redknapp, after seeing Everton allowed to battle back at Upton Park.
"The last thing we wanted was to concede a spawny goal like the one they managed. It is going to be difficult now to stay up. I would say we definitely have to win our last three matches."
Dave Bassett, after a fluke Leeds equaliser left Forest staring relegation in the face.
"I'm absolutely thrilled with the result but it's three wins, not one, we need... I am a miserable so and so."
Peter Reid, still in need of cheering up despite his side's win at Middlesbrough.
