Thursday’s Toffee Bites: Wolves boss says “no” to Everton, according to reports

It is match day once again, but the excitement is gone. Who will play? No one cares. Do Everton have a chance to win? Probably not. Is the Europa League out of reach? Almost surely.

At this point, anything the club gets from Europe is a bonus. Let’s hope they go out there and don’t completely embarrass themselves. But more than anything, make sure the key players, whoever they are, stay healthy in order to keep Premier League survival within reach.
