Norwich City manager Chris Hughton believes that footballers need to be more wary when using social networking websites.

The Canaries have been under the spotlight with regards to Twitter use as defender Ryan Bennett was charged with misconduct by the Football Association for comments made online.

The 23-year-old is said to have warned Arsenal fans that he would "finish" them following abusive messages towards the player.

"It's a reminder to those who decide to go on Twitter that when somebody like Ryan Bennett, who is a smashing lad, can have a charge pending, then it can happen to anybody," BBC Sport quotes Hughton as saying. "If there needs to be a warning to anybody, then it's there."

Norwich are preparing to face Stoke City in the Premier League this weekend.
