Oh dear, with English grammar like that you certainly aren’t sounding very educated . No need to be bitter , you won today. We were shocking defensively today as were Everton, do not let a win cloud your judgement . We won’t be disappearing anytime soon either . I would haven taken a loss today if it meant we qualified for the European group stages as I already stated on this thread before the match . We will regroup and improve and hopefully Everton do the same . Will post again on the return fixture , just as I did last season , good luck and all the best till we meet again .

You seem to have spent the week acting like a bit of an idiot making ill informed comments on here, so can hardly complain if you get a bit back.

I'll try and address what I can. I don't think you will disappear but I also don't think you are going out of view. You've built a solid team, got a decent manager who is settled and aren't changing too much. Lots positive to be said about that. However the notion that you are becoming the new Manchester City I do think has to be firmly knocked on the head now.

I also think you will struggle a bit more this season. Your squad is thin and the Europa League kills such squads (as it did to us on numerous occasions). It's sort of the con of the competition, the top teams who have the squads can cope, but for aspiring teams it wrecks them. You played a lot of the same 11 last season and you will either struggle during the games or it will catch up with you.

As for qualifying for Europe, I remember qualifying, like yourselves with 2 wins at the same stage. I don't remember gloating much about it though, I was a bit underwhelmed, especially with the slow start we were having. If you think you're winning a discussion saying you are better for doing something we did the season before it's rather an odd way of viewing things.

Your support was shocking , how do you let another team come to your ground and out sing you? especially when your a goal up the majority of the match . You made more noise last season when we beat you 3-1 . Anyway good luck for the rest of the season and hopefully your fans get more behind the team in the returning fixture . UTW

Just heading back to wolves now , great game for the neutral , and will take what ever gloating comments on the chin that come my way . Thought Everton played well offensively , but we didn’t help our selves gifting you the first goal which is unlike our captain coady . We played very open which is very uncharacteristic of us , but new from starting both vinagre and traore we would be suspect in defence . Congratulations on the win , and look forward to seeing you at the Molineux for a bit of revenge .

You silly Billy lol

See you back at the Molineux , like I said I’m gracious in defeat ! Just hope you are when we turn you over at the Molineux , as we all know Everton are not the best away from home .

Last season, we played with 10 men most of the game, and you were gifted a goal with a joke decision and allowing the free kick to be taken 10 yards out of place. You still didn't defeat us then. Forgive me for my cynicism that we will be turned over by yourselves.

Get back in your cage.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Zaha and docoure is nothing to brag about when judging by your enthusiasm your dreams are to break into the top four some day .Near enough every team in the premier league is owned by some billionaire or billionaires company who can now spend at will and as much a financial fair play allows , so sorry to say but Everton are in the same group as your west hams ,Leicester’s and wolves of this world for now .

The 2nd point is fair. I think it is more resonant to Wolves fans though who seemed to think they jump to the head of the cue on the back of having a wealthy owner. It just doesn't work that way anymore (see what they are doing to City).

Doucoure and Zaha, for the right price would be very significant and important signings too. They are both the best in their position outside of the top 6. They would easily improve our 11, and in truth if we had both of them I would fancy our chances to finish 4th. In fairness if you had both of them, and didn't have Europa League you'd have a really formidable 11.

Your little hobgoblin of a manager got it wrong today, imagine breaking up that midfield.

Mate your post on them having the best midfield in the league was posted in the Wolverhampton Echo - you honestly think they have a better midfield than Man City? Spurs? Even our patchy midfield outperformed them today - Neves is massively over rated.

@Wolf man hahahahaha!!!

It’s that time again where I get to enjoy my visit to Goodison on the back of watching my team enter the European group stages . Hopefully we aren’t to mentally or physically tired and can come and dish out another beating at your place once again .

I doubt we will open up to much but play a more defensive game where we will invite you upon on us then counter attack at speed and precision if jota and jiminez are on there game . We are a defensive team first and foremost and will look to capitalise on any loose balls or mistakes you present .

I think If you manage to score first that will benefit you, as then we will have no option but to come out and press obviously leaving space for your pacy Italian forward to exploit , but if we score first , I can see us putting 2 or 3 past you on the counter . Looking forward to experiencing Goodison again and hopefully leaving with a smug smile on my face good luck and see you all Sunday UTW

Your prediction couldn't have been more out. Congratulations on defeating us last season (almost entirely down to us being in one of our worst runs of form in 15 years and still only done from exploiting set plays).

Well done for qualifying for Europe, we did so 2 years ago but I don't remember any fanfare for doing so. Maybe you might manage to win a league game alongside that? When you achieve that feat, let us know.

That lad is a myth. He was dominated today by Gomes and Delph.

@Wolf man good luck riding relegation over the next 2 seasons

Most of the small clubs that come to Goodison will outsing us, because no one's arsed about them. Would Molineux be bouncing if Tranmere came to town?

Those singing lessons from Noddy Holder are clearly paying off for you lot then.
