Everton have been off for so long now that it feels like the offseason. Ah, what a feeling! I can relax and enjoy some time away from football, the thing in life that stresses me out more than any other. I don’t have a very stressful life, OK? But Everton really try to mess that up!

Alas, the boys in blue will be back in action this weekend. The videos of Cenk Tosun in Dubai this last week have me all sorts of fired up. That just means it will hurt even worse when I see him in his sad pinny on the bench this weekend.
