Harper urges Newcastle to focus on survival

Newcastle United goalkeeper Steve Harper says they shouldn't get carried away with their European hopes.

Though United are now just two points behind seventh spot in the Premier League and what could be a Europa League place, Harper is more concerned about achieving their initial goal of survival.

Harper told the Evening Chronicle: "We've got three out of four at home now, so we need to get the job done.

"Bolton are above us in the league, but maybe now we can start to look upwards rather than over our shoulders. We're not getting carried away. We still need half a dozen points, but we have a great opportunity to get them.

"We need to get safe - and as soon as possible."
