  We love Spurs... but City will win the title

  

  PEER REVIEW ... Prem bosses reckon Roberto Mancini will lift the title

  MANCHESTER CITY will win the title but Tottenham are the best team to watch in the Premier League.

  That is the verdict of the men with the inside knowledge — the top flight's 20 managers.

  A survey shows that three quarters of them rate Harry Redknapp's Spurs as the most entertaining team, even though they have scored less goals than United, City and Arsenal.

  However, the majority agreed that City (67 per cent) will pip Manchester United (33 per cent) to win their first championship since 1968.

  The research — carried out by Barclays, title sponsor of the League Managers' Association

  I hope those 67% percent of managers won't be deploying cowardly strategies against Man City.

  Man u are top of the table and have a much easier run-in. How can city be favourites?

  I guess it's all or nothing. The Europa cup was meaningless to City and a potential distraction. I think they wanted out of the cup anyway and not give United any advantage in the league after knowing the United's result before their match started or how else could one explain they going 2 down at home in the first half alone?

  It could proved to be a very smart move, afterall the Europa cup isn't going to please anyone either if they lose out on the title.

  Now they can fully concentrate on the league title only.
