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.Jack Pitt-Brooke is your host this week with Ed simply too busy to be involved, and he is joined by Jonathan Liew and Miguel Delaney. A holy trinity for Easter.
This week they look forward to Wednesday's huge Manchester derby and start with an in-depth look at Manchester United, and why the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era has started to go wrong already. What if he is not Ole Gunnar Di Matteo but their Ole Gunnar Sherwood?
Then it's time to pick apart Manchester City, their own form, and the strange dynamic of a derby that will be without needle because of United fans' opposition to Liverpool winning the league.
Finally, the guys go via Dream Team to ask about fictionalised versions of football and ask why, even as football becomes more and more popular, they are not as widespread as they once were.
Of course there is the usual offering of tangential discussion and a nod to our sponsor, Beer52.
