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.We have gone into every game knowing we have to win it. It has been part of the character-building at this club over the last five years that we can go into games and hold our nerve. Alex Ferguson, Manchester United manager.
I'm terrified of the consequences of this. I hope it will not be held against Graham [Fenton] when he comes back to Whitley Bay. Fenton's father, a Newcastle fan, worries about his son's return home after his goals for Blackburn hurt Newcastle's title hopes.
If someone had a go at me with an iron bar and smashed my son over the head instead I couldn't live with myself. That's why he won't be there. Barry Fry, the Birmingham manager, on why his son did not go to watch Millwall v Birmingham in midweek.
I don't want to be remembered as the man who took this club [Coventry] down. Ron Atkinson, manager of Coventry who have had 29 years at the top.
I didn't come to Italy to be a target for people who call me a negro in public. England midfielder Paul Ince on why racist supporters may cause him to leave Internazionale.
I would say to Ian Botham 'go and sort it out. We'll pay you to get English cricket right'. If he cocks up, then you get someone else. But it's no use sitting on the fence. Allan Lamb, former England cricketer.
You can prepare all you want and putt until you are blue in the face, but if you get on the wrong side of the hole that's it here. British amateur champion Gordon Sherry learns about life at the Masters the hard way.
It was one of those things when I just let it flow. I let the reins of the horse go and let him run. Greg Norman after shooting an opening- round 63 at the Masters in Augusta.
