Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson was quick to praise Lee Bowyer for his performance during Saturday's 1-0 victory over Southampton at St James' Park.

He said, "He gave the type of performance which was typical of him over many years at Leeds United.

"He showed excess energy, ran all over the place and got a yellow card, which I'm quite happy about.

"I don't want him to pick up too many of them but it showed he was more bold in his play today, which is what I've been asking him to be."

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF BOWYER? IS HE A LONG TERM INVESTMENT?
