QPR boss Neil Warnock is confident Joey Barton will keep his cool tonight against Newcastle United.
Warnock has banned the midfielder from tweeting until AFTER his debut against old club Newcastle at Loftus Road.
But Rangers manager Warnock said: "No doubt we will speak, as I would do with anyone playing against his old club.
"But Joey is just Joey. You get what you see with him and I don't expect anything different.
"Joey probably gets fired up for every game, but what am I going to tell him? Don't upset anybody?
"If he runs out on the pitch and thumps someone I will probably say 'Yes he was probably a little too fired up!'
"But you just have to trust people."
