Well, it appears as though I got the baseball World Series horribly wrong. The Detroit Tigers have been totally outclassed in the first three games by the Giants. I thought this was going to be either a nail biting World Series or a Tigers...

Big Jim’s tip for 27 October: Arsenal
It was a shocking loss last week for the Gunners. You just can’t drop points to a team like Norwich if you want to push for an EPL title. They do have a good record at bouncing back and even though the price won’t be anything special...
