Extended Highlights Hammers manager Harry Redknapp has described the entire saga as "a cock-up" which could cost his side millions of pounds given a place in Europe is at stake for the overall victors of the competition. Ellis admitted he could easily have pursued the matter via a Football League commission and felt confident such a panel would have thrown West Ham out of the competition, which was his ultimate aim. But following lengthy discussions with West Ham chairman Terry Brown, League secretary David Dent - and with Premier League chairman Dave Richards acting as an arbiter - Ellis finally backed down. Ellis, however, has insisted Villa fans - those who can produce ticket stubs for the original tie - be let in for free, which the Hammers have agreed to and are to follow suit for their own supporters, with any new fans having to pay. "I'm not entirely annoyed (at the decision)," stated Ellis. "I'm delighted we at least have an opportunity to restage the match, rather than call it a replay. "Naturally I felt at the time it was entirely right and proper that they (West Ham) had broken the rules and we were the innocent party because when someone fields an ineligible player they lose the game and it should have been awarded to us. "But having spoken to Terry Brown, David Dent and Dave Richards, I conceded and said 'all right, we will go back to Upton Park on one condition and that is our supporters be let in free of charge'. "I'm sorry Harry would like to suggest I or Aston Villa are not sportsmen, but they were wrong, they made the mistake and Terry Brown was big enough to admit the mistake. "On that basis, for the sake of football, I conceded rather than let it go to commission, whom I'm sure would have thrown them out, but that's another matter.

Middlesbrough 0 Aston Villa 4 - FA Carling Premiership - 14th Feb 2000
A St Valentine's Day Massacre at the Riverside Stadium. Middlesbrough 0-4 Aston Villa Paul Gascoigne broke his arm with a violent challenge as Villa strolled to victory at a depressed Riverside stadium. A disastrous night for player and team was entirely self-inflicted with Gascoigne's injury reminiscent of the midfielder's infamous 1991 FA Cup final exit. The former England man was left in tears by his own actions Middlesbrough were just awful in a defeat which increases the threat of relegation and the pressure on manager Bryan Robson. And while it is tempting to call it a Valentine's Day Massacre, Boro's own performance was as damaging as anything Villa managed. Benito Carbone and Julian Joachim made the most of some awful defending to each score twice and boost Villa up to seventh in the table. Gascoigne was taken to Middlesbrough hospital after leading with his arm when he challenged George Boateng. Villa's Dutchman was lucky that he was merely dazed while Gascoigne's forearm was broken by his smash into Boateng's head. The game was delayed for four minutes as the Englishman was stretchered off in tears. Boro were lucky they were able to use a substitute with referee Alan Wilkie not getting a clear view of Gascoigne's actions. This was the former England man's first appearance for Boro in two months, in a side missing a number of regulars. It took Villa only 11 minutes to score, when Festa failed to clear under pressure from Carbone, and Joachim tucked the ball back through to the Italian. Carbone had only keeper Marlon Beresford to beat, and did so with a fierce shot from the edge of the area. Boro's already fragile confidence looked under threat of being shattered, although initially they responded well. Paul Ince fired wide in the 17th minute after a flowing move involving Juninho, while Gareth Barry prodded Keith O'Neill's left-wing cross just past the post. But that was as close as the home side came to a goal all night, and the rest of the first half was nondescript until Gascoigne's violent exit. Villa restarted the brighter, although a fierce midfield exchange resulted in some home pressure and a couple of testing corners for the visitors' defence. John Gregory's first substitution provided the home fans with perhaps their best moment of the night, as a clearly-annoyed Paul Merson was replaced by Lee Hendrie. The former Boro midfielder had been booed on every occasion he touched the ball. We're leaking goals, we're not scoring goals and we haven't won this year. That speaks volumes for us at the moment But the home crowd's delight at his early exit was ruined within minutes as Hendrie set up Carbone to make it 2-0. Villa broke from a 65th-minute Boro corner, and had four men running at three defenders as the substitute found the Italian's run down the left. Carbone's shot was deflected by Mark Summerbell into the net, and supporters began to leave the stadium. Towards the end it was an emphatic victory but I don't want to take anything away from the Villa boys More were on their way home five minutes later when Joachim tapped the ball into an empty net after Steve Stone's cross-shot. And within another five minutes the little striker was left alone to head Alan Wright's looping cross into the net. The atmosphere was more reminiscent of a reserve game than a televised Premiership match. But some of the few home fans did make some noise before the end, with some clear questions and abuse for manager Robson.
