Joey Barton faces a possible nine-game ban after losing his head when he was red-carded at Manchester City on the final day of the season but, if Pardew had got his way, the midfielder would have been playing for Newcastle at Everton rather than for Queens
Park Rangers.

这里有虚拟语气的运用，If Pardew had got his way, the midfielder would have been playing for Newcastle at Everton rather than for Queens Park Rangers.

表示“我现在本来应该做。。。。（什么什么事情）”

又比如： If it wasn't because of you, I would have been playing with my dog at home.

如果不是因为你，我现在应该正在家里跟小狗玩耍呢。
