Interesting article in the guardian, quite enjoyed reading it and was nice to see the team, particularly Tiote get some recogntion, these are the categories in the article, I'm going to add mine with a slightly bias view, what would yours be?

Cards for having a go at the ref, players being sent to the sidelines for "treatment" for at least 5 minutes if the game is stopped for a player rolling around.

League of the season
premier league, cant realistically give it to any other, since i don't follow them

 

Player of the season
Sorry has to be Tevez for me.

Match of the season
Arsenal 4-4 Newcastle - It has to be

Arsene Wenger never accepting that he deserves to lose and lose badly. He can't face his team aren't a patch on what it used to be and constantly pisses me off with his whinging.

Kamara

Innovations needed for next season
Goal line technology, less bias towards bigger teams.

League of the season

Have to say I really like this bit of it:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/may/18/innovations-next-season-premier-league

 

Player of the season
Cheik Tiote

Manager of the season
Kenny Dalglish

Goal of the season
I would have Tiote's on par with Rooney's overhead kick, both showed unbelievable skill, technique and both were important goals.

Match of the season
Has to be the 4 - 4 draw. Imagine if Nolan's shot had gone in....

Signing of the season
Tiote has been fantastic, I don't even care about the stack of bookings, it's just part of his game. Hernandez deserves credit too, he's a whining little **** but he's one of the best finishers in the Premier League.

Flop of the season
Torres without a shadow of a doubt.

Gripe of the season
Chris Waddle - If it wasn't for Newcastle United he'd still be working in a meat pie factory the useless ****. Every ****er else turned him down, even his beloved Sunderland. Everything Newcastle do, in his eyes, is ****. Every goal was scrappy, every tackle is a foul and every foul committed against us is a fair challenge. We were "lucky" to beat Aston Villa, if only they hadn't missed their pelanty! ****er!! Also Mark Lawrenson is a ****er too. Now that we're safe he comes out with **** like "Newcastle were never in any danger of going down" but at the start of the season he didn't "know where the goals would come from". If all of his predictions had come true, I'm pretty sure we'd be bottom of the league with no points. **** it, while I'm on a rant Tony ****ing Cascarino is a twat as well. He's apparently an expert football tipster. He couldn't ****ing tip a pot of tea. He came out with something like "Newcastle drawing 4 - 4 with Arsenal doesn't make them a good team". Funny, I think you'll find that makes Newcastle a pretty good team to have the spirit and determination to come back from 4 nil down even with a little bit of help from the ref. Arsehole.

Pundit of the season
I'm ashamed to admit I like the work of Robbie Savage, I think he'll be an excellent pundit in the future.

Innovations needed for next season
Much higher standards of refereeing, and also referees should be accountable for their actions. If they make a massive cock up, they should be interviewed on MOTD like the managers and players are when they drop a bollock.

League of the season
I may be the only one, but I love the Bundesliga. It's so open and entertaining.
