The scoreless draw with Montreal
Is the Phanatic in the starting XI? @phillysoccerpg

What is he the guy for? RT @phillysoccerpg: Oy, maybe Keon’s not the guy for free kicks either. — Von Haze (@jak440) August 31, 2013
“@phillysoccerpg: Ray Gaddis is a darn good right back, btw.” Yes he is! @raygaddis — JP Illenye (@JerzeyJ0e) September 1, 2013
Montreal is very predictable and on the road, it’s much easier and depends on individual performances a lot @phillysoccerpg #IMFC #DOOP

@phillysoccerpg if only we have a really expensive DP who was known for providing service…
— John Shields (@peppwave) September 1, 2013
@phillysoccerpg wow what happened to jack Mac that’s 3 that he should have had tonight — ray (@nicray427) September 1, 2013
@phillysoccerpg STOP IT — Gustavo Covert (@Saltzmonster) September 1, 2013
@phillysoccerpg If the Union had a good collective touch as a team, and had a midfield that would attack, this would have been three points.
— Joel Hoover (@JoelHoover) September 1, 2013
@phillysoccerpg If Kleberson netted a winner Hack would have deserved more tough questions than if they lost.

@PhilSoc8 @phillysoccerpg @PhilaUnion I brought a friend to his first ever soccer game. He’s no less skeptical. That was horrible. — Steve Moore (@Smoore1117) September 1, 2013
Post Montreal
Ray Gaddis is playing like he ain’t never scurred. #whatankle? — Kerith Gabriel (@sprtswtr) September 1, 2013
Great work from the back 5 with another shutout
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) September 1, 2013
Unfortunate to not take three tonight good job by the guys
— Sheanon Williams (@sheanonwilliams) September 1, 2013
Everyone happy Sunday. I want to thank everyone who wished for me a speedy recovery and had the mind to pray for me you guys were motivation — ray gaddis (@raygaddis) September 1, 2013

European transfer window musings…
If Madrid sell Ozil, they managed to get worse by adding Garreth Bale. And the overpaid by about 60 million. And I love Bale. — Jim Curtin (@JimmyCurtin) September 2, 2013
Ozil> bale — Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) September 1, 2013
I could never imagine having a big time transfer unveiling … Doing all those juggling tricks in front of that many people
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) September 2, 2013
OZIL! World class signing, giving Arsenal the best midfield in the premier league.
— Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) September 2, 2013
@amobisays haters gonna hate — Antoine Hoppenot (@AntoineHoppenot) September 2, 2013
I’m sure there are reasons, but would it make more sense to have the transfer window align with the start of the season? #WholeNewBallgame — Jim Curtin (@JimmyCurtin) September 2, 2013
Union Academy
Really awesome to see the official unveiling of the new @PhilaUnion high school YSC Academy!

Aaron Wheeler’s take on Macklemore
This #Macklemore album is #legit . Definitely good to hear someone preaching something other than #drugs, #females, and #money — Aaron Wheeler (@AaWheelz12) September 3, 2013
@AaWheelz12 @Dannycruz5 Respectfully disagree. Macklemore is to rap as the Bare Naked Ladies are to heavy metal. — Jim Curtin (@JimmyCurtin) September 3, 2013
Can we go back in time and make Hard Knocks with the Union and Peter Nowak?
Stoked for Hardknocks tonight! Reminds me like crazy of being on trial in Philly a few years ago
— Gabriel Farfan (@Gfarfan88) September 4, 2013
Time for bed. Can’t watch #hardknocks when it airs because it gets me to #hype #imaloser
