Jitters and nerves are natural to have when you participate in sports, and no one can be affected more than the manager or coach of a team that is the thick of things competing for a title.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United gets affected by nerves, and even coined the phrase 'squeaky bum time' for this stage of the season.
Neil Custis of the Sun writes of Ferguson's thoughts on dealing with 'squeaky bum time'.
"Whether you're at the top of the league or the bottom that's what football does to you. If it wasn't that way we are all in the wrong job."
"I think it tells that you still care about the game."
"Managers are subject to that more than anyone - that uncertainty about winning a game, that anxiety, that apprehension about every game you play in simply because the result is important to you."
"Some people are relaxed about the game and don't show great emotions, but they still care."
"Deep down, they are probably turning inside out like the rest of us because that is what the game does to you. There is no one in the game more directly responsible for results than the manager."
"No matter which way you look at it, we're all subject to winning games of football and if not, we're on the dole line."
"Players carry on, coaches carry on, directors carry on, journalists carry on."
