100% you could see the ref bottled the decision yesterday. The FA have definitely briefed the officials to keep both City and Liverpool neck and neck until the final game  for thr viewership. Bullshit.

Sick of this in 'sport' now. They did it with Verstappen/Lewis last year -all about the money from confected excitement of a two horse race. Think we can see through this bullshit.

Jurgen Klopp extends Liverpool contract until 2026

https://theathletic.com/news/jurgen-klopp-extends-liverpool-contract-until-2026/1WBPt9qJxn5V/

Jurgen Klopp has signed a contract extension with Liverpool that will keep him at the club until 2026, The Athletic understands.

Klopp and his closest staff were already tied down until 2024 and it is believed they have prolonged the agreements by two years.

It had long been expected that Klopp, who took charge in October 2015, would leave Liverpool and take a sabbatical after the 2023-24 campaign.

However, the German has been re-energised by his side's chase for the quadruple this season and The Athletic reported earlier on Thursday that Liverpool were increasingly confident of prolonging his stay.

Klopp has recently said that he would base a decision on remaining with 19-time champions of England on whether he had the energy for the job.

Mike Gordon, the president of Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group, was in attendance on Wednesday night as Klopp’s men beat Villarreal 2-0 in their Champions League semi-final first leg.

It is thought he was there to help progress a new deal with Klopp, whose agent Marc Kosicke was also at Anfield, sat a few seats away from Gordon.

Liverpool’s owners have been determined to keep Klopp beyond his existing terms and made their move after the indication he wanted to do the same.

Liverpool have already won the Carabao Cup, are one point behind Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, will contest the FA Cup final and have one foot in the Champions League showpiece.

Klopp lifted the Champions League, Club World Cup and Super Cup with Liverpool in 2019, before capturing the Premier League title in 2020

Well....thats unfortunate but not surprising. He has done a lot since being there and it is paying off. Such a amazing team around him would've been silly to leave in 2 years time.

They'll be up there for years now

just checked the stats, it was Ronaldo’s 100 premier league goal, i thought he had scored 100 already. Anyway, Charity FC to the rescue, typical that it had to be his 1st against Chelsea in the league and his 100 in the league.

yep, plus we lost a game for the first time ever in history to Real Madrid (and at home!)

bizarre season all round, as we also won the last trophy we were missing (FWCC) and won the Super Cup for the first time under Roman

Changes made...and has no effect at all really. All the ball and winning.

Doubt it. Still can't see where Liverpool will drop points. City on the other hand have shakey moments. Can see them dropping later

[Nero 1,852]

I hate Liverpool so much, but they really play like champions. No chance for Newcastle.

Respect.

It's sad to see how far the gap is in quality as well between them and us.

Yeah they scored one but never looked like conceding from the other end. And the fuss about players rested..doesnt change things. Built such a winning strong team. Hopefully we can get up there again one day...take a few years mind.
