Whilst the PL claim to constantly be looking for ways of making the game more interesting, and keeping it the 'best league in the world', what changes if any would you like to see? Some of the things i've heard suggested previously, and some that are already in use in other countries, are:
1. Extra point for winning by more than a 3 goal margin (therefore 4pts for a 4-0 win or higher, but only 3 points for anything less)
2. Extra point for an away win
3. 2 Points for the away team if a draw, but only 1 point for the home team
4. No points for either team in a 0-0 draw
5. Penalties at the start of a match, in the event of a draw the team that won the shootout gets an extra point
6. Extra point for coming from behind to win a game
7. Bonus points for consecutive clean sheets
8. Points weighted to difficulty of match - i.e. Chelsea are awarded more points for beating Man Utd at Old Trafford than beating WBA at Stamford Bridge (would have to agree 'seedings' at the start of the season, which would be very difficult)
Not sure about all of the above, and in some cases it would just make the top of the league even further away from the rest.... any thoughts or additional ideas?

It's a fair summary efficiently condensed into a few words... |

Any team that play in red and white stripes and is not called Sunderland are not to be relegated no matter where they finish.

The winners of the league should be relegated to league 2 unless they have Stoke city in their name.

Surely the only idea worth trying is that the additional 39th game played abroad should be worth 10 points for a win and minus 10 points for a defeat.  |

The awarding of a goal for every throw in over 35m long  |

No points for a 0-0 score (4) but bonus points for consecutive clean sheets (7). So they're trying to discourage goalless games, whilst encouraging clean sheets  |

Nope would be absolute shite. One of the great things about the league system we have in football is you know where you stand, three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. If you start awarding extra points for scoring lots of goals, or getting good away reults how long will it be before you're awarding points for stringing ten passes together in a row. One of the best things about football is we can go about beating a tem like Arsenal in any way we want and walk away with three points at the end of it. Oh, and one rule change i would love to see: No more of these [glow=red,2,300]awful[/glow] long throws!  |

Top 2 qualify automatically for the champions league...places 3-6 have play offs for another spot.
4th chamions league spot goes to Stoke automatically because we're so ace.

They should just hang out at espn.com after the next world cup. They will get all kinds of ideas from whiney americans with only a passing interest in the sport.. They will be along the lines of
1. Open substitutions
2. No offsides
3. Goalies allowed to use hands in both penalty areas
4. A penalty kick for every yellow card
5. Players are allowed to catch a ball in the air and drop it at their feet.
6. Make the goals wider
