West Ham defender Danny Gabbidon has been fined and warned about his future conduct following comments made on his Twitter account.

The 31-year-old was handed an improper conduct charge last month by the Football Association for a foul-mouthed message written in the wake of his side's 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Gabbidon, who has since closed down his account, wrote: "U know what, f*** the lot of you, u will never get another tweet from me again, you just don't get it do you. Bye bye."

The FA confirmed Gabbidon has been fined £6,000 for his comments.
