QUOTES OF THE WEEK
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.l It sent a shiver down my back. Jurgen Klinsmann, on the welcome from Spurs fans on his return to White Hart Lane.
l The muscle is torn and there is a lot of swelling. It is a nightmare. All I want to do is play for Spurs and score goals. How can I do that when I am being told to do training which makes an injury worse? Les Ferdinand, Spurs striker, on his injured thigh and coach Christian Gross.
l In England, some players booze a lot. Those who have been out on the town and smell of booze the next morning are the ones I set out after. I chase them during training and won't leave them alone. I can't stand those players who perform below standard because they choose to lead a wild life. Dennis Bergkamp, of Arsenal.
l Knights are few and far between in football. You couldn't have a bigger honour. I'm thrilled to bits. Sir Tom Finney on his knighthood.
l Can we play you every week? Coventry City fans to Manchester United during their 3-2 victory.
l Nelson Mandela was as disappointed as I was. Ruud Gullit, Chelsea manager, on having to call off a meeting with the South African president.
l Lest we forget, 96 supporters went to a match and didn't return home. Manchester United newsletter warning that standing fans will be ejected from Old Trafford.
l It's not over until the Fat Man spins. Poster at Melbourne Cricket Ground during first Test against South Africa, on the slightly tubby Shane Warne.
l I have challenged our players to refuse their appearance money because, quite frankly, they don't deserve it. Andy Keast, Harlequins coach, on losing 38-40 to Bristol.
