Very amusing, arguments raging amongst Sunderland fans after former Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes scored for Arsenal and then celebrated.

Some pretty special comments as well as the odd voice of reason.

Midweek had seen large parts of the Stadium of Light closed for their Carabao Cup game but twice as many Sunderland fans bothered to turn up to see Bruno Guimaraes score a brilliant goal to set Arsenal on their way to what in the end was a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Sunderland fans reacting to Bruno Guimaraes scoring the key Arsenal opening goal and his celebrations that followed, comments via their RTG message board:

‘Almost everything Bruno Guimaraes does on the pitch is to say “look at me, I really care about the current club that are paying me”.’

‘Other than Shearer, I’ve never wanted a player to have a career ending injury more’

Bruno got some stick before the match tbf’

‘Panders to a club he jumped from as soon as he could and their fans lap it up.’

‘Ah it’s fair enough. Part and parcel of it that.

Welbeck still gives the Mags a bit when he scores against them.’

‘Nah it’s weird. We like Welbeck. He came for a year as planned and left on good terms. Guinares has been hounded as a rat all summer by the Mags but now he’s playing up to it. Fair play he knows how stupid they are.’

‘I just think it’s funny. Newcastle fans been calling him a rat all summer. He forced his way out the club. He’s made them weaker. But he scores against Sunderland and plays up to them and suddenly all is forgotten and he’s a hero for them again?’

‘He’s flavour of the month again with the daft lot up the road.

What a strange bunch of idiots that lot are.’

‘I don’t think our lot saw it as they would’ve made him know what’s what. The sly way he went about that showed how scared he was.’

‘What do people expect? He got a bit stick and gave it back.

I dislike the fella. But stop being pathetic man.’

‘If I’m a player and coming up against my former rivals and score what let’s not be bitter about was an absolute wonder strike then for sure I would be making the very most of it. I don’t have a problem with it at all.’

‘Best way to respond to all the stick and booing. He looked right up for it and the crowd were just spurring him on not hindering him unfortunately, played right into his hands. The play acting was farcical though but no different to what we see with Reinildo and Angulo.’

‘You take your licks in this game, folks.’

‘Great goal.

Good job he’s good at football and loaded.’

‘That lot must have been is some mental disarray last night. They hate us and they hate pua rat anarl. Their heads must have been fried on deciding whether to celebrate his goal.’

‘I’d like to know why we decided to give a quality player like him so much space to line up our top corner tbh.’

‘He got stick, he has every right to give it back. He’s as irrelevant as anybody now he’s left the mags. I just wish grown men/women/whatever would stop calling him Bruno and just use his surname like we do for 99% of footballers. Thats my only gripe.’

‘Had to abandon the club ‘he loves’ to sign for the already champions to score in a game they were heavily favourites for, so he could gesture were a small club. The irony is off the scale.

What’s worse is how easy the mags fall for this and they wonder why they were chosen to be sportswashed.’

‘It’s part and parcel of the game. Was getting stick and scores what will probably be goal of the month. Cracking finish and gives it back to us.

I’m not sure why the mags are in love with him again though. They were hating him all throughout the summer.’

‘Funny seeing him playing up to the Mags fans on his social media, absolute Chopra syndrome’

‘He quickly headed over to one of the corners at the Stadium of Light and made a hand gesture by putting his index finger and thumb close together which seemingly suggested that Sunderland were a small club in comparison to his former side Newcastle.’

‘Eh? He was doing the internationally recognised sign language for” shut your trap”, surely? My eyes are not what they used to be and I’m in row 34 like, so maybe I’m wrong.’

‘Funny how life works, just a few weeks ago he was loved on here for leaving them’

‘Lies. The situation and meltdown was hilarious. Nobody ‘loved’ him for it. Stop fishing for mag likes.’

‘Does not bother me, one bit. More concerned that Arsenal scored than the individual score.

It is sad that a professional footballer has the need to be loved all the time.

It is obvious what he does and the Mags fall for it every time.’

‘Lots of people conveniently ignoring we booed him and he got his own back.’

‘Over paid and over sensitive he’s just another footballer who couldn’t wait to leave their previous club to better themselves..We saw it with Jack Clarke anarl…’

‘Nowt wrong with his celebration he’s an ex Mag, we are Sunderland and gave him stick.’

‘Had to be him didn’t it. Absolutely class goal, and why wouldnt he celebrate that way after we booed him on th sidelines and booed his every touch. Fair play to him.

Gabriel was annoying me more than Bruno last night’

‘If any former SAFC player pinged one in at the landfill and gave them stick they’d be a hero on here.

He’s an absolute a…hole, but you could see the difference he made when he came on.’

‘The mags actually think he still loves them.

Aye like Sting and Knopfler …’

‘Newcastle fans are deranged aren’t they, they try to make everything about them. The mental gymnastics are incredible at times.’

‘He’s an unbelievable footballer. I’m delighted he left the filth as they can’t sign better.’

‘A lot of football fans are very fragile. Can dish it out but can’t take it when given back.’

‘He’s gone from being the big cheese at the mags to a sub at a decent team.’

‘So is he not a pyooa rat any more?’
