Our stomachs are turning, and it's not because of wriggly worms (although in Chris's case, it may be bratwurst). It's the first league derby in almost a decade, and we are nervous, just like our expert fans, Thomas Concannon and Lisa Mole.
Nervous, because we are the football team with the bigger reputation, which means we've got more to lose. But also, because we keep conceding late in games, and did so again in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Having conceded from a set piece (another theme), Howe's men had fought their way back to lead in Germany before Alejandro Grimaldo snuck through to level. We're not in a bad position in the competition, but it could have been better, and anyway, it's all about the derby now.
