Who does the Foreign Minister support?

It's Chelsea of course!


When you live in Canberra you can't help but pick up all the gossip from the local pollies.



They are everywhere, on every corner, and every one just willing to talk to the locals.



Anyway the Foreign Minister was lunching in the Capital this week, and the talk turned to football.



Apparently not only is he interested in it, he is well passionate about one of the richest teams in the Premiership, The Blues.



Alexander is a Chelsea fan!

To be fair his passion seem to come from an era long long before the current loadsamoney era.

Hmmmn great but what about Adelaide United. Dunno, the verdict is unclear. My sources wanted to talk about the possibilities of increasing trade to China when the talk stumbled between two blokes about football.



Anyway I suppose the English Premiership is the league for Foreign Ministers,



After all Iceland own West Ham, Thailand Man City, Russia Chelsea, USA Man Utd, Egypt Fulham, and I'm sure Portsmouth, Liverpool and a few others can be added to the list.



The A-League for now is blissfully Australian and New Zealand owned but that will surely change in the coming years.

No who would John Howard support? Any answers?

Last time I was up at Parliament House, one of the liberal politicians had an Adelaide United scarf hanging in his office -- I can't remember which one though.
