Which is exactly what we got.
Wolves have been in a good bit of form themselves lately, with two wins and a draw from their last three games, and they were determined not to lose this one.
But they couldn't have had any complaints had they lost as Everton were the better side and fashioned the better chances, but the Wolves players threw themselves at everything with Jody Craddock having a particularly good game.
The big centre half had the measure of Louis Saha all game.
But, such is the Frenchman's quality, the one time he did escape his marker he made a chance out of nothing, turning on the edge of the box a thundering a shot off the crossbar.
Had Marcus Hahnemann got a touch on it it would've taken his hand off!
By that point the Blues should already have been one-nil up after a neat one-two between Steven Pienaar and Saha culminated in the South African squaring the ball accross the box to Leon Osman but his shot was too weak and too close to the 'keeper who stuck out a leg to divert the ball wide.
And that was pretty much how the rest of the game played out, Everton creating half decent chances but not being able to finish any of them!
Osman had another couple of good chances blocked and then crossed a delightful ball in to Saha but, again, Craddock did enough to put the Frenchman off and the ball ended up in the crowd and not the net.
Everton were clearly missing Mikel Arteta who missed the match with a thigh strain suffered at Man City in the week and his replacement, Jack Rodwell, never really got into the game at all.
Everton began to get more desperate as the game wore on, as did Wolves defending, and the Blues seemed to create about 10 decent openings in the last few minutes but still couldn't find a way past Hahnemann.
Dan Gosling, on for Leon Osman, had a good chance after he latched onto a Tim Cahill through ball but the youngster touch one touch too many and Hahnemann smothered the ball and clattered the youngster.
Gosling played on but is due to have a scan on his injured knee...more knee troubles, brilliant!
And even when Everton did find away past America's second best 'keeper the ball still wouldn't go in as Cahill's overhead kick in the dying minutes was cleared off the line by Craddock.
He really was a pain in the arse all game!
So it's two points dropped really and we've let Villa and the Shite off the hook with that one...normal service is expected to resume against West Ham next week!
little limahl with big jackie graham! christ!
