Newcastle United have some extremely passionate players these days which has helped the plucky little underdogs rise up the Premier League table, but perhaps none are more passionate than our Brazilian duo.
Whenever Bruno Guimaraes scores we get treated to about seven different celebrations, many of which are designed to show just how much he loves the club.
On the other side of the coin, we have Joelinton who likes to show his passion by lifting opposition players into the air and taking on the entire team in an 11v1 scrap.
Joey is walking another disciplinary tightrope right now and is one yellow card away from a two-match ban. How he got away without picking up that booking yesterday, we'll never know.
Both Bruno and Joelinton's numbers were held up as Jason Tindall aimed to rest a few players, but rather than heading off the pitch, Joelinton decided to stick around to have a dig at Manuel Ugarte.
To be honest, we didn't see what sparked off the exchange, but Joelinton had to be literally dragged off the field by Bruno with Craig Hope spotting what Joelinton had shouted to Ugarte.
"Joelinton, a Brazilian, telling Manuel Ugarte, a Uruguayan, that he'll see him in the tunnel as he leaves the field... and it wasn't to exchange shirts!"
Joeltinton was fortunate the referee was as soft as a bag of marshmallows as he could easily have been shown a card for his behaviour and for refusing to leave the field.
As it stands, though, Joey is still available to take on Crystal Palace on Wednesday, so we'll see who gets on his bad side then.
He'll probably lift Marc Guehi as he seems to be targetting players once linked with Newcastle as the Magpies were eyeing Ugarte before his switch to Old Trafford.
