QPR midfielder Joey Barton is facing a lengthy ban for his red card and subsequent actions in the 3-2 defeat by Manchester City. Barton, 29, was sent off for an off-the-ball incident involving Carlos Tevez, but also kicked Sergio Aguero before leaving the field. "There's no need for Barton's actions. He just swings out violently at Tevez. It's just sheer madness. We've seen it before and we'll see it again - that's what you get with him. He's never going to calm down unfortunately." He will receive an automatic four-game ban for his second red of the season.
