Keegan: "The main focus still is to finish as high in the Premier League as we can.
"I don't want to be manager of this club and finish with less than 43 points, which is the lowest total they have ever got.
"My personal ambition is not to be remembered as the manager who got the lowest points.
"I am looking forward to my holidays, to be honest with you - but not yet.
"It would be nice if we could finish the season by continuing to play and enjoy our football like we can and send the people here away for their holidays thinking, 'Wow, next season could be very, very good for Newcastle United'.
"We could give them some optimism, and that's all we can do this year.
"This will still be a poor season for Newcastle United. It won't be remembered by the fans as a classic season.
"But we can still plant some seeds for next year, and that's what we are trying to do."
