PST: QBR's Barton suspended, very suspended

Joey Barton needs a good shaking. Or something.

But since we?re an evolved species, and since Barton isn?t a little toddler throwing a temper tantrum ? ahem, we?re all thinking the same thing, so let?s just move on ? we don?t do those kinds of things.

So instead of a good shaking, or a right proper spanking, even, the English FA has banned the naughty boy from Queens Park Rangers for 12 matches.

He?s also been fined ?75,000 (about $117,000) for being soccer?s version of the unstable Michael Douglas character from Falling Down.

Barton was sent off from QPR?s loss to Manchester City on the final EPL match day for clashing tin Carlos Tevez. In the ensuing maelstrom of mayhem, Barton kicked City?s Sergio Aguero and attempted to head butt Vincent Kompany.

As my Twitter buddy Abram Chamberlain (@MindOfAbram) said: If I?m QPR, I?m seeing if I can sell Joey Barton to a League 1 side for ?17, some scones and a cup of Earl Grey.

Well said, indeed.
