What a season it's been for Alan Pardew.
The Palace boss has just guided the Eagles to their highest ever Premier League finish as they ended 10th after a 1-0 win over Swansea.
And with Newcastle staying up on the final day of the season - surviving really only on their early season form - Pardew has a legitimate form to claim to keeping TWO teams up this campaign.
He took over Palace on the 1st of January, after 21 league games with the Eagles in the bottom three. Five months later they finish 10th; their second highest top flight position ever.
And in doing so has set a Premier League record, according to this tweet...
That is some feat for Pards, who seems to have finally found a club that just fits for him at Palace, after five years of discomfort at Newcaslte.
And while everyone lauded Tony Pulis' job at Palace last season - taking them from bottom of the league in November to 11th - Pardew's achievement is even better.
But while Pulis won the Premier League Manager of the Season for his efforts, will Pardew do the same? He's lost out on that award to Jose Mourinho but could still take the LMA Manager of the Year, which is handed out on Tuesday.
A lot of people think he should get it..
