Speaking to Sky Sports earlier this evening, Wayne Routledge speaks about his short notice move to St James’ Park…“It is a hectic time. You get a call and you have to make quick decisions,” said Routledge.

“Newcastle is Newcastle and everyone knows what it is about.

“It is a massive club with a massive tradition and the fan base is unbelievable, so as soon as I got the call the decision was made for me.”

“There are true legends that have played here and they have a way they like to play. Hopefully I can follow in the footsteps of these players,”

“Sometimes you come here and you are in awe of the way the fans support their players.

“But I am on the right side now, in the black and white shirt, and I can’t wait to get going.”

Let’s hope Routledge walks into the team for Wednesdays fixture against Palace, then he really will know what the crowd sound like.
