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.Noel Gallagher will once again dabble in football punditry as a guest on Match of the Day 2 this weekend, the BBC has announced.
The former Oasis star and Manchester City fan interviewed then City striker Mario Balotelli for Football Focus in 2012, and will appear on Sunday night's programme to discuss Tottenham v West Ham, Everton v Leicester and Southampton v Liverpool.
Gallagher, who is preparing to release his second solo album, will also front a feature on City's match against Newcastle, which takes places on Saturday evening.
It is rare for Match of the Day to feature pundits who are not ex-footballers, although West Ham fan Russell Brand appeared last season to promote Sport Relief and, back in 1994, Fantasy Football League presenters Frank Skinner and David Baddiel also took part.
The main question with Gallagher might be whether his usually strong language is as blue as City's shirts.
