Ouch! Karl Henry spent 90 minutes smashing Joey Barton all over the Wolves pitch, but saved his most vicious attack on the Newcastle midfielder for his post-match interview.
In a bad-tempered game which finished 1-1 but 7-5 to the home side in bookings, hardman Henry appeared on a mission to intimidate Barton. He followed a series of fearsome tackles with a withering verbal blast.
'He (Barton) seems to think he's a bit of a player who puts his foot in. But I didn't see any of that from him. I saw him shoving players off the ball a lot.
'Me? I love getting stuck in. I enjoy these games. There wasn't too much quality, but I knew it was going to be physical with Alan Smith and him in there. I've got a lot of time for Smith. He was saying, "Well done, good battle", and he loves it. He loves getting tackled as much as he tackles.
'I'm the same, I love a good honest tackle. I don't mind getting tackled, either. But Barton was in the ref's ear all the time and not happy about getting put to the floor.
'We'll have more of the same when we go up to their place. He was even whining at the end. Something was going on with our gaffer (Mick McCarthy), a lot of talk. And, as usual, nothing to back it up.'
Newcastle defender Mike Williamson defended Barton, who set up an equaliser for Andy Carroll. 'They targeted Joey, but he can handle it,' he said.
'Teams think they can wind him up, but he's wise to it.'
