data-mm-id=”_r8dj7qrdq”>During a congressional hearing on Tuesday, two Republican members got into a spat that punctuated with one of them telling the other, "Go f–k yourself." Yes, that's a thing that actually happened between two government employees during a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. I'm so glad the adults are in charge. Here's video of the incident: GOP Rep. Michael McCaul to GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, on a hot mic: “Ah, go fuck yourself.” pic.twitter.com/VYJ07tzRzV— Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) March 19, 2024Yeah that's pretty clear. Issa seemed to be going on and on when it was another member's turn, then rather than shut up he kept talking. McCaul lost his cool and was caught on a hot mic. After the hearing, McCaul apologized for losing his temper:From colleague Aishah Hasnie. McCaul to Issa at Foreign Affairs Cmte: “Yeah go f*ck yourself.” McCaul explanation: “Itwas a long day, and I lost my temper. That is uncharacteristic of me and I apologize to Mr. Issa, who I consider a friend.”— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) March 19, 2024To be fair to McCaul, Issa, who represents the 48th district in California, is really annoying and has that wormy, fake politician smile plastered across his punchable face at all times. I'd lose my temper working with that guy too. McCaul, who is the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, represents Texas' 10th district and has been in Congress since 2005. To my knowledge, this is the first time he's told someone "Go f–k yourself" on the hallowed grounds of the Capitol.

Arsene Wenger may still talk up his Arsenal side s title prospects but the manager knows the FA Cup third round tie with Plymouth Argyle is almost as important for the Gunners as the Premier League.
Wenger brought the curtain down on a miserable year by confidently declaring his current side to be on the verge of greatness.
That may look wildly optimistic after a year that began badly with the horrific leg-break suffered by Eduardo da Silva and was later marred by the extraordinary in-fighting that led to William Gallas being stripped of the captaincy and further long-term injuries to Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas.
With Matthieu Flamini, Alexander Hleb and Gilberto Silva all having left in the pre-season without being adequately replaced, it seems as if Arse…

Benitez was appointed as the replacement for Carlo Ancelotti in June following two seasons at Serie A side Napoli.
Ancelotti s dismissal in May came a year after he guided Real to an historic 10th UEFA Champions League title.
Spanish-born Fernandez, who enjoyed managerial stints at Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol and Real Betis and is currently in charge Guinea s national side, was disappointed by the decision to part company with Ancelotti but feels Real are preparing to eventually hand the reins to Zidane.

The 21-year-old winger made the switch to the Signal Iduna Park from Hoffenheim in 2011, and made his first-team bow in Dortmund s 3-1 league victory against his former side in December 2012.
Hofmann has started the new campaign in impressive fashion, scoring his first goal for the club in the team s 2-1 win over Eintracht Braunschweig, as well as contributing two assists.
And he has been rewarded for that start with a contract that will see him stay at the Bundesliga runners-up until June 2018.
Speaking to the club s official website, Hofmann said: I ve always been nurtured by BVB, I made the step from the reserves to the first team and I …

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has admitted to having some small issues with Jose Mourinho during the 2017-18 season.
The France international, who has started both of his country s games at the World Cup, endured a difficult season at Old Trafford, with Mourinho naming him as a substitute on a number of occasions towards the end of the campaign.
Rumours of a rift between himself and Mourinho were a constant presence for the final few months of the season and now Pogba has confirmed that they did not always see eye-to-eye.
However, he was quick to brush them off as nothing major and believes his difficulties will stand him in good stead for the rest of his career.
This year was a better season than last year as I was more decisive, he told a med…

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Eintracht Frankfurt and Marseille after Tuesday s Champions League fixture was marred by crowd trouble.
Eintracht claimed their first Champions League victory at the Stade Velodrome, but their 1-0 win was overshadowed by off-pitch events, with social media footage appearing to show the two sets of fans aiming fireworks at one another in the stands.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed reports linking him with a switch to Manchester City.
The Northern Irishman has been tipped as a potential successor to Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium, should the City hierarchy opt for a change of management at the end of the season.
But Rodgers, who joined Liverpool from Swansea City in 2012 and signed a new four-year deal on Merseyside last May, insists his head will not be turned.
That doesn t distract me, he said. I chose to come to Liverpool because I hoped I could be here for many years.
The speculation is just the nature of football I think.
I remember earlier this season playing Ludogorets away and as I walked off I saw a banner that said Rodgers Out , so I never get too carrie…
