Alan Pardew doesn’t like TV cameras. Twitter doesn’t like Alan Pardew’s dislike for TV cameras

What just happened?

Conan Doherty

Did no-one tell Alan Pardew that, at televised games, there will be cameras there? You know, to televise the games.

He must’ve missed the memo in the fluster of starting his first day in the new job but he was having none of the TV crew at half time of Crystal Palace’s 4-0 FA Cup win today.

The former Newcastle boss had a comfortable first 45 minutes to life back at Palace as they led Dover by two at the break but Pardew, who was all smiles for the photographers walking into the ground, used his side’s advantage to let the viewing public know that it isn’t all about him. In doing so, convincing the viewing public that he thinks it’s all about him.

Well, either that or he really just wanted to show off his new pen…

Naturally, the good folk of Twitter didn’t let it slide.
