I thought this at the time when he made the comment on TV.

I've been to the Crabble on a number of occasions over the years, and know exactly the hill you have to walk up when they park the coaches. He described it as a '4mile' trek, that in reality is a not that different from the distance from the Falmer railway bridge to the club shop - just a bit steeper.

Very disrespectful to a club with a proud tradition that has played there for over 80 years. He is a **** for moaning about such an irrelevant point, especially after such an emphatic win.

I quite enjoyed the footage on the bbc highlights of the little Dover lad giving Gale the middle finger treatment, after he cupped his ear to their fans like he had just scored against Barca instead of Dover. Seems arrogance is not just for their manager.

Good set up at Dover been 3 times ,typical Pardew not liked him since the day he berated Reading players of lacking loyalty when they left for better clubs.As soon as West Ham came in for Pardew he was offski.

'Breaking News - Arrogant tosser is arrogant tosser, again!'

Ignoring that he's at Palace, so as not to make it appear that it's clouding my judgement, he's an obnoxious human being who is seemingly oblivious to his many faults yet walks around as if he's the best thing going.

He's essentially Brian Clough without the talent, wit, class and success.

It seems a bit of a non-story, to be honest. Not really sure what the Dover chairman is trying to achieve with this one. I heard the interview with Pardew after the game, and he mentioned the walk from the coach in fairly tongue-in-cheek fashion.

“I don’t know what Pardew was doing for 20 minutes – you can crawl up there on all fours in a couple of minutes.”

:lolol: So many questions

Dover travelled to Havant & Waterlooville last season, Havant had their ground checked during the day by an independent referee who said it was fine, but a bit of a downpour and the official referee on the night felt it necessary to call it off an hour before KO. Parmenter went ballistic, in the local press calling Havant a tinpot club, and generally behaviour like…..like…..well, like Pardew! He has a bit of a history of histrionics does Jim.

What is Pardew complaining about, didn't Don Revie make the Leeds players get off the bus and walk the last bit to the ground all the time?

He does come across as a bit bitter in the interview!

Like I say, can't really see what his motivations are.

I've been to Crabble a few times, and yes there is a hill, but goodness me Alan, why mention it? Does he not realise it makes him sound like a total c.ock?

Someone once said of Glenn Hoddle that "if he was an ice cream, he would lick himself". Pardew strikes me as being very much in that mould.

n 1988, so the story goes*, the Nottingham Forest team coach slowed to walking pace amidst the Millwall fans meandering along the Old Kent Road towards the Old Den. Brian Clough asked his skipper, Stuart Pearce, to get the team off the coach and walk through the opposition fans to the Millwall ground. Having faced the very real and physical demons off the pitch, the verbal brickbats on the pitch would be a comparative cake-walk. A psychological stroke of inspiration that almost paid off: Forest went 2-0 up, only to draw after late goals got the newly-promoted, and high-flying, Millwall team a point.

The fact he climbed said hill probably 3 or 4 hours before this interview and still brings it up makes me think he had been mulling it over for the whole match.
