I agree with Jamie Redknapp here - this is off the Sky Sports website by the way:

Jamie Redknapp: This could be a pivotal moment for Pellegrini, actually. I always remember when Jose Mourinho took over at Chelsea he identified the League Cup as a big trophy to win because it's the first one and, if you win it, it keeps everyone quiet. Look at Arsene Wenger, every year that goes by without a trophy at Arsenal the more pressure it brings. So Pellegrini will be looking to get one in the bag, give City a bit of confidence and then re-focus on trying to win the Premier League and turning around their deficit to Barcelona in the Champions League.

If we can get this trophy it relieves the pressure a little and shuts everyone up for a bit about us must having to win a trophy, albeit we do need to be winning trophies with the team we have got.

Hopefully winning this trophy can give us our confidence and spark back.

Pretty much said this since the season started. Even though it's considered the lowest priority it's the first proper trophy you can win, and thus the earliest opportunity to validate what we're trying to do. Win it and I'd be very sure we would go on to win one of if not both the league and FA cup.

My mate had a live album of Robin Trower in 75 he was an fantastic guitarist. Underestimated like Mick Ronson who could also play very well indeed.
