Joey Barton slams Karl Henry

Queens Park Rangers captain Joey Barton has continued his verbal row with Wolverhampton Wanderers' Karl Henry, expressing his dislike for the midfielder during a television interview.

The two players lined up against each other yesterday during QPR's 3-0 victory at Molineux.

Speaking to Goals on Sunday, Barton aired his views on Henry, while also insisting on calling him Kelvin.

"Kelvin Henry – he loves it, doesn't he," said the 29-year-old. "Always sticking his foot in and trying to hurt people. Why doesn't he do it when it is 0-0 in the game?

"He is chirping up all week saying he is going to do x, y and z to me and then he lets himself down massively by not even turning up on Saturday afternoons. He should concentrate more on playing and less on talking a good game."

Barton opened the scoring during yesterday's win.
