Puncheon predicts 'great times' for Palace

Since being confirmed as Neil Warnock's successor at the start of the month, Pardew - who represented Palace during his playing career - has overseen four straight victories in all competitions.

The London club's form has seen them climb to 13th in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup fifth round.

"I would like to finish my career at the club." he told The Mirror

"I have been here a long time. I've got this year and three more years and I feel that there are great times ahead.

"I played for the manager in League One at Southampton so I know what he is about. He has come in and asked us to do certain things and the players have all accepted the responsibility.

"Everyone respects him. Everyone has responded to him. He makes us all feel as though we are part of something and that we are all fighting together.

"I'm not surprised by how well we have done since the manager has come in. There are some good players at the club and one thing that people maybe don't appreciate is that we have got a fantastic spirit."
