Keegan Insists The Magpies Are Staying In Premiership!

Last updated : 09 March 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
12 Premier League matches without a win, just 3 points out of 36, but the Messiah says he will reach his points tally of 40 with three wins at least.

Newcastle have it in their own hands because they have fellow strugglers Birmingham, Fulham and Reading in the next four games.

Keegan: "Their first goal was a freak, and maybe we needed something like that rather than them. That's what happens when you are struggling.

"From then on it was always going to be tough, two down to Liverpool at Anfield means they can relax and play their football.

"But our players are a tight-knit group and we all believe we have the ability and quality to stay in this division.

"We are very confident of that. You need 40 points to stay up and we need four wins to do that. We will do it."
