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 is easy to feel cynical about our national game. Barely a month goes by without some new scandal involving football players, fuelling suspicions that they are paid too much and behave badly off the field, as well as that too much money in general has corrupted the game.
But all is forgiven when a match ends in the kinds of twists and turns that were seen yesterday in the closing minutes of the Premier League, when Manchester City snatched the prize by scoring not one but two goals in injury time. It was an astonishing coup that took them from behind to beating Queens Park Rangers by 3-2 – the first time that Manchester City have won the league since 1968 and only the third time they have won it in the club's history.
A "crazy ending", as manager Roberto Mancini rightly said, and one that will have restored many a disillusioned fan's belief in the power of the beautiful game to take people's breath away.
