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.nEric's problems can only be solved by Eric. Bobby Charlton on Cantona.
nI would have cut off his testicles. Brian Clough on Cantona.
nI don't think this is the end and, from my perspective there's no way George Graham will be a scapegoat. There may be a fair bit of pain to go through yet and I don't know why I feel like the man who shot Bambi. Rick Parry, chief executive of the Premier League.
nHe [Graham] cannot be labelled guilty of any offence. We have not determined guilt, we have determined the facts, Sir John Quinton, the League board's chairman.
n If an employee of a football club commits a financial irregularity then they should be sacked and that club should be punished as we were in 1990 when we were relegated. But it is clear there is one rule for the bigger, richer clubs and a different one for the smaller ones. Ray Hardman, Swindon Town chairman.
n It was easier than I expected. Frank Bruno after his 65 second win over Rodolfo Marin last Saturday.
n It was disgraceful. Every one of our team stopped. It was such a bad decision you can't call it a decision. It used to be difficult to get a throw-in at Anfield, and it's becoming the same here. Francis Lee, Manchester City chairman, disputes a goal by Newcastle in the the FA Cup last Sunday.
n The mistake I made was not getting the hell out of the hotel bar about two hours earlier than I did and going straight to bed. Vinnie Jones, in trouble after biting the nose of a journalist.
n Until they sort themselves out, I wonder whether they should be allowed to play world cricket. Ian Botham, on the Pakistan bribery scandal,
n I'm not a pussycat. I'll beat the living daylights out of him [Riddick Bowe]. Herbie Hide, who defends his the World Boxing Organistion title next month.
