Bus strop: Adel Taarabt is pictured with QPR fans in west London on Sunday Following a furious half-time bust-up with boss Neil Warnock, the midfielder - stripped of the captaincy after Joey Barton's arrival - headed towards the Crabtree pub in Fulham before Rangers supporters approached him on Fulham Palace Road. Taarabt posed for pictures until, according to one one witness, the atmosphere turned hostile and Taarabt sprinted off. QPR refused to comment officially, but Taarabt is now facing a heavy fine.
Hot water: Adel Taarabt left Craven Cottage at half-time The Moroccan midfielder, who quit playing for his country when dropped in June, scored 19 goals as QPR won the Championship last season but was poor on Sunday and was substituted at half-time. Taarabt was on the verge of a ?12million move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer but Warnock persuaded him to stay.

Warnock refused to deny their half-time spat and would not comment when asked if he planned to discipline Taarabt.
'No idea': Warnock didn't comment on the situation The QPR boss said: 'I've no idea what happened. I don't think you can blame Adel Taarabt today. You've got to look at why we conceded six goals. 'You're going to get days when Adel throws his toys out the pram. If you're not bothered about being subbed... I'd rather have players like that, me.' Bus strop!
