Andy Ritchie believes Garry Monk will be saying: ‘We have to upset them and we have to make sure they don’t get into any rhythm.”

Andy Ritchie “Leeds and Newcastle are both in the wrong division and since their relegation Newcastle have gone about it in the right way.”

Andy Ritchie thinks Newcastle’s fate was sealed in the summer “The assurances that Rafa Benitez was given are a big plus.”

Andy Ritchie can’t believe Newcastle’s transfer business… “I actually can’t believe that Bournemouth wanted to let Matt Ritchie go as he has been one of their best players.”
