Finton’s Frolic: 87 Things That Have Happened Since Charlie Patino was Born

By Daniel Finton (Deputy Editor)

What up, Pimps?


Welcome one and welcome all to the Finton’s Frolic right opinion zone. This is a bonus FF as Senior Writer Mac’s papa is getting married. Mac the celeb is a busy lad this week. And we want to get to 250 articles for the year, so I’ll gladly pick up the slack for such a beautiful reason. We love love here in the right opinion zone. Welcome to the WLYA family Kristin.


Anyways, let’s talk about what people actually care about: Charlie Patino. I’m surely you’re lovely Kris, but nowhere near as so as the new prince of London.


He donned the legendary Hale End number 87 yesterday, and bagged a debut goal whilst it was upon his hairless prepubescent back. So, on the note of such a legendary digit, and speaking of his preposterously young body and age, here’s 87 things that have happened since the young lad was born.

Luckily, however, with all of the amazing youngsters we have, including Patino, we don’t need Ronaldo. We have a plethora of young talent who will win a boat load of trophies, themselves. And they know what it means to play for this great club. Let’s hope they all know what “no” means as well.
