Alan Pardew trolls Tottenham, assures fans that they'll finish "top ten"

Alan Pardew is bringing the #bantz. Ahead of Crystal Palace's trip to White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur, the Palace manager broke out his trademark smug grin and had some things to say about Tottenham Hotspur's start to the EPL season.

AP: Spurs have some outstanding players. I'm a big fan of Kane, Chadli and Eriksen. They will definitely finish in the top ten.

Let's take you live now to that same press conference where Alan Pardew is continuing to speak.

So, depending on the state of your Spurs fandom, your personality, and perhaps, your general feelings towards Alan Pardew as a person, you probably had one of two reactions to this tweet.

1.  Oh, you.

Just Pardew being Pardew, right? I mean, he's won his last two league matches against Spurs. Who could forget that smug smile in last January's 2-1 defeat? Also, Palace are playing well and flying high at sixth in the table. Considering Spurs' slow start to this year's campaign, he's probably earned the right to banter a little.

2.  RAAAAAAAAAGE

ARRRRRRRGH ALAN PARDEW ARGLEBLARGLE GGGGGGGAAAHHHHHHH TENTH PLACE FFFFFFFFFFFFFF ERIC DIER SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH

Either way, I have a feeling this tweet will be on the bulletin boards at Spurs Lodge Hotspur Way for the next couple of days.
