His 1000th match summed him up for me, a big game against a man he's never beaten who he's had a feud with, a lot to prove and this would have been the perfect match to put down a marker, what happens next, a powderpuff performance where we concede 6 goals and are absolutley humiliated by his (in football terms) arch enemy.

No manager with any ounce of pride would have accepted that like he did, he was utterly embarassed in that game and shown up for the incompetent manager he is.
