FURIOUS Bruno Guimaraes hit out at moaning Newcastle fans with “short, stupid memories”.
Some Toon supporters were quick to hammer their players on social media following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Manchester City.
NUFC360, a popular fan account with just under 134k followers, tweeted: “Is it too early in the season to start focusing blame onto individual players?
“Was there an overreaction to the loss to Man City?”
Brazilian midfielder Bruno, 25, was pictured in the post alongside Joelinton, Dan Burn and Miguel Almiron – none of who were at their best at the Etihad.
Guimaraes joined Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022 when the Magpies were battling relegation but admitted in July there are “doubts” over signing a new deal.

And he hit back: “Is this serious? We are in the Champions League, we lost against maybe one of the best teams in the world.
“We have lost one game!
“Support in the best moment is easy. Short, stupid memories you all have.
“Look what we have done for the team in this year and a half.”

Bruno deleted his Tweet and NUFC360 backtracked, replying: “We are with you Bruno, this post was a way to try and focus on the craziness of those trying to find players to blame after two games.
“I’m sorry if this was not expressed on that matter.”
