Henry hit back after Barton claimed that his Wolves counterpart was an inferior player.
Speaking to Sky Sports news, Henry said: “[During the match] 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.
“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 they were winning the match. There was no need for him to keep going on the way he does.”
