Owen can keep us up, says Keegan
Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan believes Michael Owen is the key to his side's Premier League survival hopes.

"A lot of people have been questioning him because he is a big-name player, but he won't stop scoring if you give him chances," said Keegan.

"I am delighted to have a player like Michael at the club. His leadership and work-rate have been fantastic."

Owen's goal against the Blues was only his seventh of an injury-hit campaign, but Keegan says he has never had doubts about the 28-year-old.

"He is a clinical finisher and a very clever player," Keegan added. "Michael is top quality and a world-class player, make no mistake about that."

Who's he trying to kid.... the delusional fool
