The turnaround that we could get a paper about the match so quickly baffled and impressed me in equal measure.

These past few days I’ve had chance to reflect on the quick and impressive turnaround #TeamDowntown have made; so here is my footballing comparisons:[/vc_column_text][team_member image_url=”46992″ team_memeber_style=”meta_below” link_element=”none” color=”Accent-Color” name=”Chris Wilcox – 10/10″ description=”The Arsene Wenger.
