The Chelsea FC season so far has been packed with incident, having started off with a healthy amount of optimism. With new team signings like Oscar, Victor Moses, Eden Hazard, and other key additions to the team, they began well - playing great attacking football with plenty of goals and were the early premier league leaders. Chelsea FC's future transfers also look very interesting, there are transfer rumors around Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini and Atletico Madrid's star Colombian striker Radamel Falcao. If these transfer rumors are true, this could bring even better attacking flair to the team already loaded with some of the world's most dynamic forwards. While they got off to a decent start with the summer signings, the team has been struggling with a loss of form lately. Marouane Fellaini and Radamel Falcao could bring some excitement back to the team, rejuvenating everyone and helping them score goals.

Stemming from the incident which occurred between Terry and Anton Ferdinand during QPR's 1-0 win vs Chelsea in the Premier League game played at Loftus Road on 23 October, 2011, John Terry was found not guilty ...
... of the racially aggravated abuse charge in the criminal court of law but was found guilty by the FA and Terry was banned for four games and fined £220,000. - the furore around the incident has finally died down and now too the "Mark Clattenburg affair" is coming to a conclusion. Chelsea filed a report following the Manchester United Capital One Cup tie (as they are obliged to do if they believe there has been a racist incident involving any of their staff) about Mark Clattenburg allegedly using racist terms towards one of their players (Ramires thought he heard Clattenburg use the term monkey when referring to John Obi Mikel) but following a FA investigation and an enquiry by the Police, Mark Clattenburg was found to have no case to answer and he is now back refereeing matches.

Following a run of poor form in the league - 4 games without a win, including a 2-1 loss to Di Matteo's old team West Brom and then the 3-0 loss to Juventus in Turin in the Champions League Roman Abramovich moved decisively and fired the all-time fan favorite, Roberto Di Matteo and replaced him with the most unpopular, former Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez. Indeed, when Benitez was introduced to the crowd at his first game in charge vs Manchester City at Stamford Bridge he was lustily booed. The team failed to win any of its first three games under Benitez before winning 6-1 in the Champions League against FC Nordsjaelland. However, Benitez' first win for Chelsea was not enough to keep them in the Champions League - they did not qualify for the knock-out stages, the first winners not to do so. So Benitez' interim tag is looking like it is very much a reality as Pep Guardiola is well known to be the first choice of Abramovich.
