This is going to be one hell of a game – the German and European champions taking on big spending Manchester City in Manchester. The Germans are good but City is a team capable of serving it up to last year’s Champions League title holders...

Big Jim’s tip for 1 October: Arsenal
The Gunners and their fearless manager Arsene Wenger must be smiling at the moment. The cheque book has remained pretty much closed yet they find themselves sitting pretty at the top of the EPL ladder. The year’s other challenge is the...

Presidents Cup; America’s to lose
Golf is like tennis to me – it is an individual sport and it is all about winning Majors or Grand Slams. Winning the US Masters, US Open or British Open stands at the top of the tree in golf. Having said this, The Ryder Cup (Europe v USA) and The...

Big Jim’s tip for 30 September: Dolphins
This is a tough Monday night game and an important one for both clubs. Both teams are capable of winning their division but they are both clear second picks. The Saints can pile on points but Miami appears to have turned the corner so we will take...

Big Jim’s tip for 29 September: Stoke v Norwich
We will have a good year if the “Potters” can string some wins together in the EPL. Stoke have been more than impressive this year and can charge into the top half of the table with a win here. Stoke should have too much polish for the...

Big Jim’s tip for 28 September: South Africa
I just can’t see the South Africans losing tonight. After what they did against the Aussies in Australia it’s hard to see the tables being turned now they are back on home soil. I think they win and win easy again tonight against a...

Big Jim’s tip for 27 September: South Sydney
I think the Bunnies will get the job done tonight. They come off a week’s break, are big and strong and deserve to make the Grand Final. They lack the big time experience of their opponents who hail from the other side of the Sydney Harbour...

Big Jim’s tip for 26 September: San Francisco 49ers
I know I am breaking my own rule here, so don’t email me about it. Yep, I am going to take an inter-divisional favorite on the road in a nationally televised game. The 49ers have something to prove against the Rams and they simply can’t...

Big Jim’s tip for 25 September: Retief Goosen
There are two truly great golf courses in the world – Augusta in Georgia and St Andrews in Scotland. There is more than £5 million on offer here and a world-class field will make this one hell of a tournament. I am going to wind back the clock...

Big Jim’s tip for 24 September: Hawthorn
I am giving you this tip early as I think money is going to come for Hawthorn late this week ahead of the AFL grand final. I like the Hawks to win the big one this year after coming so close 12 months ago and I think they might pile on a few late...

Weekend wrap
Oh how sweet it is. Finally the Geelong Cats have been punished for their flashy antics and refusal to finish games off. They had the Hawks on the ropes twice in their AFL preliminary final on Friday but failed to get the job done. The...
Big Jim’s tip for 23 September: Oakland Raiders
This game will see a very good team in Denver hosting a team that is not much good at all in the Raiders – and it will happen on the biggest stage of them all on Monday Night Football. I am going to go for Oakland because they are getting an...

Big Jim’s tip for 21 September: Fremantle
Sydney boasts a wonderful record in Perth in recent times but the big question is whether or not they can overcome the crippling injury toll that has stalled their premiership run over the past two months. Truth be told, only raw courage has helped...

Big Jim’s tip for 20 September: Fernando Alonso
I am giving you a few days’ notice here to track down a good price. It is also a huge weekend of sport so I was struggling to fit this in on Sunday when the race is actually on! Even though the race for the Drivers’ Championship appears...
