Bruno Guimarães didn’t hold back – pure fury and heartbreak after Newcastle United’s gut-wrenching 0-1 Tyne-Wear derby defeat to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, courtesy of Nick Woltemade’s unlucky own goal. The captain calls it a “very bad moment” (“I’m very angry and disappointed… tough one to accept”), admits “we have a better team than them” but failed to show it (“everything was lacking”), and issues a direct apology (“have to say sorry to the fans”). He rallies support for Woltemade (“so unlucky… can happen to anyone”) and vows to channel the pain (“derbies are like finals… have to go again on Wednesday”). Raw, passionate Bruno – this is the skipper the Toon Army needed to hear.

  1. The idiots have only got themsekves to blame for not putting the effort in,as well as the manager for getting it completely wrong.This loss really hurt.

  2. I don't give a toss about the cup game. There's not even a european place for winning it. If we've held back and played negatively & passively in this game because we were prioritising the cup game and saving the players for that then someone has massively misjudged the mood of fan priorities.

  3. Newcastle biggest club in Newcastle ! Milky Way cup winners 🔔 🔚, fickle fuckers , the melt down online has got me entertained 🤣🥲FTM ! Bullied again off the north east top dogs SAFC🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

  4. Better team? Truth is that none of the "big" clubs would want any of Newcastle's players. Gordon is capable of being a fantastic player but he doesn't turn up often enough. Newcastle's team are an established mid-table team playing badly – but they are not top 6 without a striker. The whole setup now looks tired and out of ideas. And, his fabulous finish on Sunday not withstanding, Woltemade looks too slow for the premiership. When poor defending gives him some space he looks fine but under pressure he usually loses the ball.

  5. Both sides looked poor.

    Sunderland did get the better of the game physically but created virtually nothing in terms of chances. The hectic nature of the game was pretty exciting but it was a very poor quality game of football.

    Newcastle’s performance was hardly surprising – they’ve played just like that quite a few times this season.

  6. It sounds like he's blaming the other players when he's just as culpable himself, why try and pass to a player when there's a defender in the middle, in other words Bruno, why do you keep passing to the opposition and setting up their counter attacks? And why try and hold on to the ball for as long as you can? What does this achieve? Has it ever worked for you? All 11 were garbage, our midfield which is meant to be one of the strongest in the premiership was weak, they looked fearful every time they were on the ball and rightly so, because Sunderland took it off them with minimum effort. Credit to them, they turned up at least and got stuck in, they wanted it more, that was plain to see but they also offered nothing either when it came to goals, if it wasn't for Woltemade, and only God knows what he was thinking, the game would have ended 0-0.

  7. One of the few that actually tried and showed an ounce of passion yesterday. Certain players really need to look at themselves in the mirror – Anthony Gordon especially. He's an overrated penalty merchant. Elanga looks a waste of £55 million. Major changes and reality checks are needed before we can turn this round.

  8. He actually played well along with Hall and Thiaw and Miley gave his all. The ones I'm angry with are Eddie and both the Anthony's. Absolutely disgraceful performances from them

  9. as palavaras voce nao pode lembra é simplemente parbens O Sunderland
    gostaria muito seu estilo e atletismo. Eu nao entende como este club era na championship
    e agora eles pode hoje run rings around us for 80 minutes sorry lost for words
    try google translate excuse my portuguese

  10. I wouldn’t give any off these bastards a game put them all in the youth team and put our academy players in I’d stop paying the wages and give them to the academy players they don’t deserve nothing

  11. Recruitment needs to be sorted out we need to improve up to now only Woltamade has improved us. Elanga Ramsey haven’t made an impact and Wissa has only had about 15 minutes so after last summer we need total change in that department
