Welcome to theguardian.com review of the 2013-14 Premier League season. Now that the campaign has ended we would like you to help us choose your favourite goal, the best signing and the best manager, and other winners in a total of nine categories.
We have nominated some contenders, but this is just to get the discussion going: we would like your suggestions so that we can compile the best into final polls that you can vote on. The polls will be published at midday on Tuesday 13 May, so please tell us what you think. Thanks
Allow supporters to drink alcohol in their seats
Yexs, of course it's possible to enjoy a game of the football without drinking booze, but the experience would be so much more enjoyable if fans above the legal age were allowed to knock back a snifter or two during each half, rather than having to queue up at half-time, before lorrying back their plastic pots of over-priced lager like students competing in a yard of ale competition at freshers' week.
Fans cricket and rugby have proved it's possible for Englishmen to enjoy a few drinks without disgracing themselves, while football-going trouble-makers intent on getting tanked up before misbehaving will do so anyway. For all the unseemly rancour, bile and unpleasantness it generates among adults, attending football matches is actually a leisure activity for which enthusiasts pay through the nose. Forbidding them from enjoying a tincture while doing so is nannyish in the extreme.
Clamp down on wrestling in the penalty area at corners
With the problem of defenders Skrtling their opposite numbers to the ground as the ball sails into the mixer, a diktat ordering referees to start blowing their whistles and pointing to the spot by way of punishment would surely help rule it out.
Let TV viewers hear conversations between referees and their assistants
While mic-ing up referees in order to hear their conversations with players would be undeniably interesting, the novelty of listening to various angry and frustrated footballers effing and jeffing their way through matches would almost certainly wear off fairly quickly. But with officials already wearing headsets with which they communicate with each other, allowing TV viewers to eavesdrop would provide an intriguing insight into the logic behind their decisions and help educate numpties who complain about incorrect decisions without knowing the laws of the game.
A managerial transfer window
You have sifted through the CVs, conducted the interviews, hired your idea of the most impressive candidate and watched him pose with a club scarf at his unveiling. Sadly, the press seem intent on forensically examining his dubious political leanings, the players hate him because he has banned ketchup from the training ground canteen and the club you bought as a cash cow has been tonked 10 times in a row and is heading for the Championship. You know what? Too bad. Perhaps you would have chosen more carefully or thought twice about sacking his predecessor if you knew you'd be lumbered with him until the next transfer window.
Players to be paid in public
Before one home game each month in front of a packed house, the wages clerk at every Premier League club is seated behind a desk in the centre-circle. One by one, each member of the first-team squad walks out holding a plastic carrier bag or hold-all, to be presented with their payment in wads of cash, with the club announcer revealing to fans how much they've just received over the Tannoy. Alternatively, players who prefer not to run this gauntlet of seething fury and resentment can choose to be paid in private, but only on condition they accept a 50% pay cut, with the rest going to the one of the fans present in a raffle.
