@phillysoccerpg Carroll has been strong…there, I said it
— Black Hand (@BlackHand75) March 29, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Can we talk about how lazy Jack can appear sometimes? Downright awful this season besides the PTFC goal.
— Clay Sauertieg (@CSauertiegPSU) March 29, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Fabinho has not been doing him any favors.
— KevinLin (@KevinLindsay) March 29, 2014
Watch out @MLS . Vincent Nogueira just learned he can score for @PhilaUnion #DOOP @phillysoccerpg
— Scott Pugh (@SPugger77) March 29, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Hard to sit a guy playing that well, when the guy on the other side has been arguably the weakest on the field.
— John Shields (@peppwave) March 29, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Good one touch pass by Carroll to set Jack loose to send Noggy in.
— AdFinemFidelis (@ebradlee10) March 29, 2014
@phillysoccerpg Terrible from Okugo. Too much space and his body was squared all wrong.
— Brandon Johnson (@BrandonJawnson) March 29, 2014
@phillysoccerpg carroll needs to make the better pass.
— Phil Naegely (@PNaegelyTSD) March 29, 2014
Nogueira was extra sharp today RT @phillysoccerpg: Nogueira the Union’s MotM. Perkins probably the MotM for either team.

USA vs Mexico
@phillysoccerpg what’s uglier here, the jerseys or the lineup? #USMNT #ussoccer #beatmexico
— Jeff Palo (@JeffPalo) April 3, 2014
Amen. RT @phillysoccerpg: I’m sick of hearing about the chip on Dempsey’s shoulder. Just play hard and well.
— Steve Moore (@Smoore1117) April 3, 2014
I’d buy all of it. All. Of. It. RT @phillysoccerpg: Why doesn’t Nike just go ahead and release a Jurgen Klinsmann line? It would be awesome.

@phillysoccerpg I love me some Mike Bradley!

@phillysoccerpg you got it, C’mon Mo!
— Stan Pasukinis (@SPasukinis) April 3, 2014
@phillysoccerpg that was disgusting. I try not to be too hard, being an (amateur) ref myself. But horrible officiating.
— Brandon Johnson (@BrandonJawnson) April 3, 2014
@phillysoccerpg is it just me or does he have the most muscle on him out of the entire team. He looks like a linebacker in midfield.
— Ryan Sanders (@ryan_sanders20) April 3, 2014
@phillysoccerpg scoreboard may say 2-2. I will remember it as 3-2. Bad disallowed goal.

Initial reaction to the McInerney trade
First I want to thank the @PhilaUnion club/staff/front office for over four great years.
— Jack McInerney (@JackMcInerney9) April 4, 2014
Thank you to my old teammates that made not only a better player, a better person. Most I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life.
— Jack McInerney (@JackMcInerney9) April 4, 2014
And most importantly the amazing @PhilaUnion fans. When I bang on you later this season I expect nothing but boos and the harshest comments
— Jack McInerney (@JackMcInerney9) April 4, 2014
@amobisays at the top hopefully
— Jack McInerney (@JackMcInerney9) April 4, 2014
@JackMcInerney9 definitely
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) April 4, 2014
Gunna miss having @JackMcInerney9 around but know you’ll do great things…better get started on that french! @AntoineHoppenot has you
— Danny Cruz (@Dannycruz5) April 4, 2014
@PhilaUnion I am thrilled to be joining a talented team, and marvelous club with fantastic fans! I can’t wait to get started!
— Andrew Wenger (@andrewwenger) April 4, 2014
All the best to my boy @JackMcInerney9 in Montreal! Keep working hard and scoring goals! #brightfuture
— Maurice Edu (@MauriceEdu) April 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg We all know Hack is a locker room guy. I bet this had something to do with it. Wenger seems to be upgrade in that department
— Scott Pugh (@SPugger77) April 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg questionable, but I’m enthusiastic about local talent.
— Frank Navazio (@The_Real_Navaz) April 4, 2014
@phillysoccerpg @PhilaUnion Does this seem crazy? Shouldn’t we have gotten a lot more than a straight swap?

@andrewwenger welcome home buddy… By the way team fine for that tackle last week
— Amobi Okugo (@amobisays) April 4, 2014
McInerney for Wenger
I’m an eternal optimist and will support my team NO MATTER WHAT… so just wait and see. I think this will pan out, because I think this will lead to another player in either the summer transfer window or in the off-season.
I have such an odd sense of pride seeing my tweets in here every week, haha.
