Could of done with him today, someone with a bit of heart & desire

Scored a brace too.

[nemtizz]

Great touch. Could do with his 2 minutes sub appearances this season.

Oh yeah let’s fill our team with Championship garbage who had us 19th under Bruce while kissing Ashley’s arse every few months in the Chron instead of the ones who’ve got us to 4th. Stop posting rubbish man. 

[papo]

Wow is that Josh Murphy too celebrating with him?

I thought it was pretty obvious that it was bait..

Er, twice we've trailed 1-2 against Bournemouth in recent times and twice Matt Ritchie has saved the day. He's exactly what we needed yesterday.

Woe betide anyone not in Ronny's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Ritchie was absolute class in the second half. Balled out. His first was a brilliant run across the backline that the defenders missed, great first touch and slotted home. His second was a cross-come-shot that smashed in off the post but even apart from those goals, he was freaking everywhere and caused 'boro all kinds of trouble. He might not be the most gifted player in the world but he does care and gives 100% and on those days when he's on, that equates to a pretty darn good player.

I liked Ritchie but boy was he the poster child for everything wrong about the Ashley era.

Didn’t realise Tindall and Purches commute from Bournemouth

[ponsaelius]

Tindall definitely doesn't anymore, or at least certainly isn't planning on doing so forever. He has a house in Gosforth.

One year experience there and straight in to replace that useless Suds.

[toontownman]

Seems a bit of a wild hire given a lack of experience in the role but he has a great character. Delighted for him.

Well, maybe his HGV licence impressed them…

Howe will be trying to oust Suds to bring Ritchie in his place. Jobs for the boys yet again. 

[Danh1]

In all seriousness it’s an interesting move. Love him me, proper reminder of the Benitez years. 

[TBG]

Show how far we've dropped when Bournemouth is a more attractive option.

[Pilko]

Good for him. Always thought he'd stay in the game in some capacity.

The word on the street is the club might not entirely be convinced by Suds so you never know 

[The College Dropout]

Nice.  Interested in how that role plays out for him.
