‘He gets angry even when we’re winning’: Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes agree on Newcastle United’s worst loser

Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimarães recently faced off in a fun game of “Team Mates” on Pro Direct’s YouTube channel, where they answered questions about their Newcastle United teammates.

The duo had to guess which player best fit various descriptions, and while some answers were predictable, others provided a few laughs and insights into the squad’s dynamics.

One question that stood out was, “Who picks up the most fines?” Fans who have seen similar videos, like Dan Burn’s Christmas quiz, might already know the answer: Joe Willock.

The midfielder has earned a reputation for being late, and both Gordon and Guimarães quickly pointed to him as the culprit. Another question asked, “Who gets angry after a defeat?” Both players initially considered themselves and even mentioned that manager Eddie Howe can be fiery after a loss. However, when they revealed their answers, they had both written Joelinton’s name.

Gordon joked, “He gets angry even when we’re winning,” but it was Guimarães who delivered the more cutting remark, adding to the growing legend of Joelinton’s fiery temperament. The Brazilian midfielder is no stranger to losing his cool, both on and off the pitch.

Fans have seen him unleash his frustration during games, like his infamous clash with Harvey Elliott during a recent match. Even when the ball was nowhere near, Joelinton made sure Elliott wasn’t getting anywhere near it, sending him flying in a moment of pure intensity.

Interestingly, Harvey Barnes once described Joelinton as calm when asked the same question, which left many scratching their heads. Perhaps Barnes was being diplomatic—or maybe he’s just too intimidated to speak honestly about the towering midfielder.

After all, it’s hard to blame him; Joelinton’s imposing presence and occasional outbursts make him a force to be reckoned with.

The video offered a lighthearted glimpse into the Newcastle dressing room, showcasing the camaraderie and personalities within the squad. While Joelinton’s temper might be well-documented, it’s clear that his passion and intensity are also part of what makes him such a vital player for the Magpies.

Whether he’s dominating midfield or venting his frustrations, Joelinton’s presence is always felt—both on the pitch and in the locker room.
