Charlie Patino
Arsenal’s teenage sensation Charlie Patino only got a 20-minute cameo in his introduction to Championship football, but the Blackpool fans have already taken a liking to the youngster.
Patino came on but could not change the result, with the Tangerines falling to a 2-0 defeat to Stoke City. However, the midfielder was impressive and could well have earned a start come next weekend.
Blackpool’s song for Charlie Patino is a belter.
🎶 He’s Charlie Patino,
He knew the place to go,
Although he’d never seen,
The boys in Tangerine,
He felt it everywhere,
He breathed in the sea air,
And then he said to me,
I FUCKING hate PNE. 🎶— HLTCO (@HLTCO) August 7, 2022
