CRYSTAL Palace boss Alan Pardew has confirmed reports in the national press that winger Jason Puncheon was involved in a war of words with football fans.
It was reported that Puncheon was drunk and responded to taunts towards him at the final of the World Darts Championship on Sunday night.
And Pardew confirmed those reports at his first press conference this afternoon, admitting he's spoken to the Croydon-born man about his conduct.
"We've had an incident this week with Jason," said the manager.
"His behaviour was inappropriate and I've told him that."
