Would've thought when you turned pro that the idea of 'supporting a team' largely becomes just supporting the team you play for.
Imagine supporting a team playing in your division and you being happy to see them champions. Bit weird.1 -
Can't remember the manager, could of been Clough or Ferguson but whoever it was always wanted his players to get into a serious relationship including marriage and kids. Makes them less likely to go out gallivanting late.Chunes said:
I've always wondered the same. They have kids young as well. Achieving success and financial stability at an early age might have something to do with, it might be the question of "what's next in life."Todds_right_hook said:Why do footballers get married so young0 -

Good interview that. Our academy really is the nuts.1

Lmao Dean in the comments calling Doughty a Judas prick.fenaddick said:
Another saying Doughty wasn't here that long and it'd be worse to see JJ wearing a Millwall shirt.
Doughty joined us 15 years ago, aged 8. He left aged 21. That's 13 years with the club.8 -

Doing far better than most expected when we sold him to Stoke.

Always looked a player to me , shame he’s a scum fan2

He's playing superbly tonight against Liverpool - another Charlton Academy product making a name for himself...but not at the Valley.7

He was transferred to Stoke with a buggered hamstring. Given his reliance on pace the worry was how well he would recover. Otherwise he could have been another Danny Haynes.Scoham said:https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11717/13041975/why-ross-barkley-and-alfie-doughty-can-steer-luton-to-safety-at-3-1-jones-knows

Doing far better too than Stoke expected when they sold him to Luton!Scoham said:https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11717/13041975/why-ross-barkley-and-alfie-doughty-can-steer-luton-to-safety-at-3-1-jones-knows

Yeah but Stoke are almost as cursed as us for ruining players at this point.0

Earlier in this thread it was agreed that he’s a Chelsea fan. I wouldn't be sure if he knows himself.JohnnyH2 said:Millwall fan wears Millwall shirt1 -
You forgot to mention both that awful plastic pitch and the Orwellian identity scheme.Addick Addict said:
Have always had a love/hate relationship with Luton. Can never thank them enough for gifting us Killer for £4k, loved their side of the late '70s that contained the likes of Ricky Hill, Tony Grealish, David Moss, Brian Stein etc etc and for the football they played under David Pleat, then detested them for taking first Paul Walsh and then Paul Elliott off us within a matter of a year or so but, finally, couldn't help but admire them for, having had the dirty done on them by the Football League by being deducted a total of 30 points, rising from the fifth tier of English football to the very top thereby giving hope that relatively small clubs like ours can strike back.oohaahmortimer said:Luckily Luton and the scum have a good relationship
Now, I’m getting to like them and cheer them on to help a Palarse downfall2 -

I used to work with a family friend of his and he indicated he was a Chelsea fan.jimmymelrose said:

So he says he’s a Chelsea fan.
He comes through our academy.
He plays for Luton.
His Dad does’t even like football so I doubt he took him down The Den.
Two clubs have had big problems of violence with Millwall fans. We have a big rivalry with less violence.
He then puts a picture of himself wearing a Millwall shirt on social media.
Conclusion: knobhead who doesn’t understand his own profession4 -
Nothing! Think I went from one post to the other and applied some creative freedom!Ducktapeshoerepairs said:

Well i think we know he likes lions on his supporter shirts and blue kits.0

He's definitely surprised me. He always had pace and athleticism and that can take you quite a long way, but he was a bit "run Forrest!" when he was with us and never looked, to me, to have enough technical ability to go with the athleticism. I thought Championship would be his level, so fair play to him for putting up good numbers in the Premier League.Scoham said:https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11717/13041975/why-ross-barkley-and-alfie-doughty-can-steer-luton-to-safety-at-3-1-jones-knows

Doughty has as many assists (7) in the PL as Foden does.2

Should probably be on the fringes of getting an England call up, but won't be. Especially given we don't have too many options at LB0

I think thats probably a bit far but keep it up another couple years in the prem and he should be in the conversation.follett said:Should probably be on the fringes of getting an England call up, but won't be. Especially given we don't have too many options at LB1 -
Is he any good defensively?
His strength is running down the byline and crossing it to big men in the middle, rather than the modern style winger who cuts inside and runs into the box.0 -
The left back in their defeat to Bournemouth last night was Hashioka, who Google tells me has played just 3 matches and is usually on the right. He got taken off after Bournemouth's third and replays showed he may have been the weakness in all 3 of Bournemouth's goals to that point. The 4th goal then also came down the left. Doughty was playing left midfield and as we know can be a very effective left wing back. Definite defending question mark for me.1
