Swansea boss Monk: Fan was being polite, but...

Swansea City boss Garry Monk has spoken of his fiancee's reaction to being handed a written letter by a neighbour criticising him.

Lexy Blackwell, who gave birth to twin boys in March, posted on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon claiming she had received the letter from a neighbour and expressed her disgust at the incident.

"Someone wanted to impart their wisdom on me how he would deal with matters in hand and the best way to go about it," Monk said.

"There was no malice about it but for my missus and kids when we're at home that's when football is left at the door.

"My property is where I spend my time with my kids and missus and for them not to be exposed to certain situations.

"My missus got the letter and she wasn't too happy that someone could come up and post it where she and my kids are and where we live.

"She felt a bit upset about it and vented her anger, and quite rightly so, but it's not a big issue.

"She's used to speaking her mind but I've told her that not everyone is going to write nice things on Twitter."
