Andy Townsend

We had energy.

We had youthful, you know, a youthful look in some of these boys were coming through.

A couple of old ones like myself and Big Paul still in there and some real quality in people like Dwight, who was a terrific player, went on to such great success at United.

But I felt Doug Ellis let that team split up far too quickly.

He didn't do enough to keep that together.

He should have done more on reflection because that was a very, very good team at that point.

And it sort of, I think Dwight went and then

And I'd already gone, I was coming to the end of it, but I think Gareth then went, Hugo left, and too many of them were allowed to get away.

Do you know, the one in 98 for Middlesbrough, I've got no recollection of the game at all because we lost.

It's true.

I think if you ask anyone who's been to a final and loses,

Not a tremendous amount that you can recall so many years later, but that one and the 94 one, there's still things that even to this day when people start talking about it, you know, you do remember.

So I really hope that the Villa boys, if they just give their best, if they give a performance, if they can give a performance, effort, of course, goes without saying, but if they can keep a good shape and stick to the plan and believe that they can win, they've got a chance.

They really have.

Yeah, so they've got to learn from that.

You've got to take that on board.

But you mustn't be fearful, Cami, today.

If they just get out there to just try and stay in the game.

Watford yesterday, they didn't just try and stay in that game.

They made sure they were hard to break down, but they had a punch.
