Gabbidon charged for Twitter rant

West Ham defender Danny Gabbidon has been handed an improper conduct charge by the Football Association following comments posted on his Twitter account.

He put up a foul-mouthed message in the wake of West Ham's 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa on 16 April and has since closed down his account.

Gabbidon wrote: "U know what, fuck the lot of you, u will never get another tweet from me again, you just don't get it do you. Bye bye."
