5) Joey Barton – 12 matches
During a controversy filled final game of the Premier League season in 2012, Joey Barton realised that he wasn’t keen on the Manchester City players and would let them know about it.
He started by elbowing Carlos Tevez, and after being shown a red card for his behaviour he decided to knee Sergio Aguero and head-butt Vincent Kompany.
He got a 12 match ban and was promptly shipped out to France.
