These were the best jokes after Crystal Palace sacked Alan Pardew as manager with the side lying 17th in the Premier League following a run of one win in eleven games.
Just one point outside the relegation zone, former England manager Sam Allardyce is now the hot favourite to take over at Selhurst Park.
After less than two years at the club, here are the best of the jokes as Crystal Palace sack Alan Pardew:

Pardew has managed to get sacked from Palace just 5 years into his 8 year contract at Newcastle. Impressive

Back to work for Alan Pardew who will assist Santa on Christmas Eve. Santa explained, "His experience of the sack will be invaluable."

Alan Pardew's sacking means he isn't working Boxing Day or New Year and he's now got an extra £5 million to spend.
Wonder what he'll do… pic.twitter.com/8uZXMIsTOo
