If you had the option would you give the uafa cup a miss next season and concentrate on the premier league or do you feel its a competition worth being in?
Personally I'd have liked an opt out option if as looked likely at one time you had beaten us to 4th as I see the uafa as more of a punishment than a prize now days.
I think for teams who have no real hopes of finishing top four its ok but for both Arsenal and Everton we will want to be competing again next season

{Ed025's Note - some see it as a negative G62, but for me its progress mate, pitting your wits against some of the bigger european sides will be good for the club i believe, and although it can have a detrimental effect on league form, it can also be a vehicle to bring in youngsters and players who have been injured or lost form, but we must improve the squad and have enough numbers to cope for it to work..

I agree if its used to play youngsters etc its not a bad thing Ed025 but with the Thursday night kick offs it seems to be a big drain for little reward on the first team resources.
Maybe if they played it on Tuesdays in between the CL weeks it might become less of a drain or even a return to the home and away knock out format so less games but more excitement might help it overcome its ugly duckling image. If so I'll try it on myself

{Ed025's Note - tuesdays would have been good G62, and even better the old knockout format, but it seems greed has taken over yet again mate..

Its a shame the powers of the game can't see past the euro in their coffers Ed, because long term more the more enjoable and popular comp the more money it will generate too.
I'm glad your looking forward to it Murpthman and I do like the idea of the winners getting a CL spot in fact I think the Rup should get a playoff place also .
I just hope it doesn't prevent you building on this fantastic first year under Martinez, the PL is a far better league with a very good Everton being in and around the top four that's for sure
