Overthinking It? of the Week
James Scowcroft, ex-Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town and Leicester City
Ryan Giggs player coach. Or is that David Moyes suggesting that Giggs isn't going to be playing for him.

@scowy1975 he has been named "player coach", not "coach". You work it out…

On the train to London. Missing my little boy already… pic.twitter.com/ScF90awY6b
— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) July 2, 2013
I have actually never taught him to kick a ball or hit a golf ball but you want to see him do it. 18 months old. #talented

I know every parent thinks their kids is/are geniuses but I will put a video up and you can judge it yourselves…
— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) July 2, 2013
Just realised I'm not sure you can put videos up. Can you?
— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) July 2, 2013
I'm not a believer in people being born talented, so it is obviously him picking it up from his environment. He is already amassing hours!
— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) July 2, 2013
As long as he is a happy, balanced, kind human being then he can play whatever sport he likes. I'd prefer golf or tennis but its his choice
— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) July 2, 2013
A.) because football is full of nuggets B.) those other sports follow the sun C.) never be compared to his dad D.) see more of the world
— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) July 2, 2013
Finally… E.) football is full of nob heads
