The war of words between Joey Barton and Karl Henry has continued, with the Wolves man defending himself against claims that he is out to injure fellow players.
The pair clashed in QPR’s 3-0 win over Wolves at Molineux on Saturday, with Barton labelling Henry as a ‘Sunday League player’ and claiming Mick McCarthy must have ‘been on drugs’ when he decided to sign the midfielder.
The FA will not take action against Barton, and Henry has retorted and defended himself against the claims.
“Joey Barton was telling everyone he is on 80 grand a week as usual. That is him. He always does that during the game. Always. He riles a few people up when he says those things and tells everybody how great he is,” Henry told The Guardian.
“It is just embarrassing really. If that is what he wants to do, he can carry on doing it but that is why a lot of people dislike him. He has tried to reinvent his image but it is probably the same old story.
“I know we had our battle last season. I don’t want to keep going over it. But [on Saturday] they were winning the match. There was no need for him to keep going on the way he does,” he concluded.
