The Ginger Mourinho on how we don't give young English talent enough credit...
"I think we're all guilty of it at some point. We've all been brainwashed by it, that we're not as strong nationally. We've just got to be careful."
"We keep moaning about our national side, and then there are a million questions about all these development plans, we have to think, 'hang on a minute, where are we really at?'.
"When we get some little shining lights here and there, it's sort of like, 'Oh well', and then we go back to grumbling.
"We should enjoy it and encourage it, because they are the pathway for little Jonny aged seven who's playing in the park, saying, 'I want to be Harry Kane'.
"It seems to me that if a British player does something, the reaction is, 'Oh yeah, decent', whereas when it is someone brought from other shores for a big fee it's, 'Look at that, isn't it amazing?'.
"Just because Harry Kane hasn't been brought in for £50m, it doesn't mean he's not a good player.
"There's a balance to it. But I think it's good these young British players are playing in the Premier League. It is the way forward as regards the national systems because it's the highest level they can play at."
Kane, Austin, Ings, Berahino; he's got a point.
