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.

A season of two halves - the first half pathetic, the second half average. Paul Ince was out of his depth, but it was always a gamble.

Unfortunately it didn't pay off. His backroom staff of Ray Mathias and Archie Knox didn't help. They took the training back 20 years I believe! They just had to go. Big Sam has kept us up with a style that could be called "defensive", not pretty I know, but he has done the business. 27 points from 18 games - top six form. All we need now are exciting performances to go with the results.

Which team were your best opponents?

I won't include any of the ‘big four', so definitely Aston Villa - they did the double over us.

Would like to sign?

A striker with pace like Darren Bent and a creative midfielder like Danny Murphy.

What was the weirdest/funniest moment of your season?

Paul Ince's big signing - Keith Andrews, and the Santa Cruz/Man City circus in January.

Mark out of 10 for the season?

6.5, could do better - here's to next term!!
