Almost in unison, Perth’s Northern suburbs have declared that “it’s coming home” after World Cup underdogs Butler beat Norway in an overtime thriller this morning.
It has been 8 years since Butler has tasted this level of World Cup success and as always, they are not shy about getting a little ahead of themselves, as one fine citizen of Butler told The Times,
“It’s foooken comin’ ome lad, you see that, class lad, class, get me cumberland up ya Haaland ya muppet”
In fact, the general mood around Perth’s North is eerily joyous and positive. A vibe that strikes absolute terror into the hearts of Australians everywhere.
We spoke to an Aussie who somehow found himself living in Butler. He said the weird facial expression on his neighbour’s face gave him the chills, adding,
“Barry was actually smiling and he didn’t even point out a glaring inadequacy about life in Australia compared to back home, seriously give me the old Barry any day, this was weird”
Of course, this optimism could also be due to the fact the Butler community has been morning drinking since about 4 am.
Which isn’t unusual in and of itself, but it’s usually angry, seething morning drinking that so many expats partake in to start their day.
We also understand that the Butler Boulevard Hooligans will be taking the day off terrorising the community to “get the beers in” and resume regular programming sometime this evening.
Unsettling!
