This guy better never ref another game ever again. What a joke
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) August 17, 2013
Are you out of your mind???!??! This is an absolute joke, this guy needs to get fired on the spot.. Fourth official needs to sub himself in
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) August 17, 2013
Every arsenal foul is a yellow card but no yellows on Aston villas fouls… Absolute ludicrous
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) August 17, 2013
If kosc gets a second yellow on his foul that should be a second yellow on vlaar for that foul on rosicky, this is just absurd
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) August 17, 2013
This is just unbelievable
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) August 17, 2013
A foul for arsenal and a yellow card.. This is just unreal, he’s gonna start yellow carding arsenal players for being offsides next
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) August 17, 2013
Good job, good effort…

@phillysoccerpg Nikolov gets the bench for the first time. Interesting.

@phillysoccerpg No reason to rush Gaddis back. All in all there are even out there with differnt strengths and liabilities
— Bill farrar (@sievetronix) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Yet again Carroll is the attacking midfielder out of him and Daniel. If that continues, Union will struggle.
— Barry Evans (@Bluetooner1) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Le Toux about two steps slow tonight..
— Hawk Walk (@hawkwalk11) August 18, 2013
.@phillysoccerpg That was a nice outlet pass by Carroll to Henry
— Brian DeLawter (@BrianDeLawter) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg once again we are getting nothing from midfield, the same midfield that has done nothing for the past month
— Alex Swift (@Alexswift59) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Doesn’t help that Parke and Carroll keep booting it to the Red Bull players.
— ps8 (@PhilSoc8) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Dull half, honestly. Union too willing to boot it long. You can’t counter by throwing the ball away.
— Jeremy Lane (@MrJeremyLane) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg do parke and okugo get two paychecks for playing holding mid and center back tonight. Carroll and Keon are invisible
— Alex Swift (@Alexswift59) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg why does Daniel start. He must be amazing in practice. He surely disappoints in matches
— Trouble (@damonwillwin) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg i’ll take a draw right now. not excited about it but dont know if we have the gas to get 3 points.
— Mike Troyo (@mtroyo) August 18, 2013
@phillysoccerpg The crossbar gets my vote for man of the match

@SonsofBen came to ny and were louder than the home crowd #respect …great all around effort from the group to get a shutout and result

Countless playoff articles will be written in the coming weeks. Will any focus on the absurdity:5 of 10 in East vs 5 of 9 in the West? #Math

Anyone know the answer to Matt’s question?
I wonder at chivas USA games if they sell tickets for actual seats or if it’s just general admission #placeispacked

We talkin about practice
The Answer retires today. 2001 76ers will always be my favorite team of all time. #WeTalkinBoutPractice

Myopic dinos is the name of my new band. But truth…
Myopic dinos RT @phillysport: It’s shaping up to be 1st year since ’94 w no playoff sports in town. @brookob says it’s the worst of times
— Philly Soccer Page (@phillysoccerpg) August 23, 2013
Chivas sells general admission tickets behind one goal, closes the stands behind the other goal, and sells the rest as actual seats.
Hoppenot should start if he’s an Arsenal fan. That shows great vision.
