    So refreshing to see his continuous use of the word 'slut'. Quite the charmer.

    And yes I know you can unfollow but the point is this is a public forum shared with the entire world and whether he likes it or not he is representing the club. If it was a bigger name footballer the press would be having a field day.

    Someone needs to have a word...

    I agree, one of you tweeters should ask Leon Knight nicely if he'll have a quiet word with him.

    You don't think it's wrong to refer to women collectively as sluts?

    A simple "Aaron, stop talking like a ****" should suffice.

    In all seriousness though, I do agree slut is a bad word to use on social media.

    To my knowledge, slut is an american word, and using it is publishing and promoting Americanism. He must have a large quantity of youth following him, who will be easily influenced into incorporating these American terms into their vocabulary.

    He should be calling them slags.

    if it is an Americanism it goes back a lot of years. I'm 58 and can remember that being used when a was a young 'un.

    Context, context and context.

    He is actually saying the opposite of what you infer. The whole thread is about the way some women act around him. He even has a go at door staff who change their demeanour once they find out he's a footballer.

    Well it appears Im some kind of raving tree hugging PC thought police officer then cos personally I consider it misogynistic, insulting, ill informed and degrading and I would love to know how the thousands of female City fans feel about it. Any takers?

    I'm prepared to accept Im wrong if calling mums, sisters and daughters "sluts" is perfectly acceptable for someone in the public eye who we pay the wages of.

    Rofl, the people moaning about him and calling him stupid...delicious irony and way to miss totally what he was saying.

    If it looks like a slut, acts like a slut, guess what?

    You're also making me smile over concern regarding him using words like slut on a public forum too, obviously never been to watch a football game.

    It's not the same - he is representing our football club. If it was John Terry making these comments there would be a witch hunt.

    He thinks he's a gangsta rapper.

    I think he'll find out very shortly that he's actually a League One footballer.

    It's a different language sometimes Twitter.

    Some words...I've just never seen them before.

    I couldn't even begin to pronounce the posts, let alone decipher.

    I'm so white.
