THIAGO Silva’s wife has taken aim at Chelsea again – this time with a blast at already under-fire boss Graham Potter.
Belle Silva is the outspoken partner of the 38-year-old Brazilian international.
From the club’s fans to her husband’s team-mates, not many have escaped the wrath of Belle.
SunSport takes a look back at the many times she has turned the air around Stamford Bridge blue.
GONE TO POTT
Current boss Potter is having a challenging time at Chelsea and things got worse for the ex-Brighton gaffer after a home defeat to bottom of the league Southampton.
Boos could be heard at Stamford Bridge and some called for him to get the sack.

Belle showed her frustration by liking a tweet from a supporter that labelled him as a “deadbeat coach”.
The user wrote to her pleading that Silva coaches the club instead as Potter is “tactic-less” and “doesn’t know what he is doing”.
They continued: “He doesn’t even understand this is Chelsea football club – he thinks he is still at Brighton.”

WERNING SIGN
Last season, Silva’s team-mate Werner was having a tough time in front of goal, managing just four Premier League goals across the camaign.

That left Belle far from impressed and she supposedly launched a foul-mouthed rant, branding the German a “verme”, which means “maggot” in Portuguese.
YOU’VE (NOT) BEEN FRAMED
Silva played a key role during Chelsea’s Champions League victory in the 2020/21 season.
The wife of the centre-back expected to come home to a hero’s welcome at Stamford Bridge but was left underwhelmed.
Belle reportedly fumed at staff as she claimed their was not enough snaps around the ground of her husband’s successes.
She wrote in a now deleted post on social media: “Today I went to Stamford Bridge and I noticed that the photos changed around the stadium.
“But I don’t see a photo of Thiago Silva anywhere. Why Chelsea?”
Later that day, Tottenham scored and when watching from the stands she uploaded a photo of her and son Iago with a silly filter on saying Spurs had netted.
She received much backlash from fans, one said: “Delete this. So unnecessary.”
NOT A FAN
Next in Belle’s firing line was shockingly Chelsea supporters.
At the beginning of 2023, the West Londoners slumped to another bad defeat against Manchester City, losing 1-0 at home.
It left the club in tenth place in the Premier League and angry fans jeered the team off the pitch after a lacklustre display.
Belle questioned the fans’ efforts, tweeting: “Don’t come to Stamford Bridge if you’re not singing. Come on Chelsea.”
She then shared a video of some of the boos while she stood up and sung a chant in support of the team.
SILVER TONGUE
Silva’s wife took another swipe at the club after they lost to London rivals Fulham.
It was a disastrous day at Craven Cottage as ex-Blues hero Willian opened the scoring and Joao Felix was sent off on his debut.
Despite the loss, much-loved defender Thiago put in a good performance and it left Belle wanting more from Chelsea.
Again on social media she said: “If there was a Thiago Silva in attack and one in midfield, with what we already have in defence…”
MIC DROP
Sticking up for her husband is something Belle does best and she was not going to let a commentator get away with criticising the ex-Paris Saint Germain star’s performance.
Chelsea shockingly lost to Brentford 4-1 and Silva was accused of “not attacking enough”.
Belle demanded more respect, taking to Instagram: “I’m here in my box at Stamford Bridge. I just listened right now to the commentator, who said that Silva is not attacking enough.
“Respect Thiago Silva because Thiago Silva arrived yesterday, Thiago Silva played for Brazil, Thiago Silva is very tired, Thiago Silva is 37-years-old, he plays like he is 20-years-old.
“So respect him, he’s not a machine. He needs to relax, alright?”
HAS NO ‘CHILL’
Silva’s opponents have also been on the receiving end of her brutal assessments.

Chelsea fans loved it when she demanded that the experienced international show Leicester ace Daniel Amartey “who is boss”.
She has also hit out and Liverpool’s Andy Robertson saying that Ben Chillwell is a better player.
