It's John Gibbons from the Anfield app with a quick message from Think about the dangers of drug driving.

Drugs mess with your reaction time, your focus and your judgement, all the things you need to drive safely.

0:13.0

So even if you might feel fine, your body and brain say otherwise.

0:18.0

And drugs can stay in your system for longer than you think, sometimes for days

0:22.2

or even weeks after. More and more, especially at this time of year, the police are testing

0:27.7

people at the roadside if they suspect them of driving on drugs. I've seen it myself on the Dock Road

0:33.8

in Liverpool driving to work. It's a simple swipe and if you're positive, it could

0:38.9

be losing your licence for a minimum of a year, an unlimited fine and ended up with a criminal

record. It could cost you your job and give you trouble travelling to other countries like the USA.

And that's before we even consider the harm you might cause others. In short, it's just not worth to risk.

Now listen, no one from the Amphiel Rapp is going to tell you what you can and can't do in your private life.

1:02.1

But it is good to remind ourselves of the importance of making a plan and looking out for yourself and your mates.

1:08.7

That could be booking a taxi or arranger to stay over at one of your

1:12.2

mates or leaving the car at home so you can get the train or bus in the morning. It only takes

one mistake but you could be regretted it for a lifetime. Think, don't put drugs in the

driving seat. Hi there is tour unwrapped unwrapping the big talking points from the football world here in Liverpool.

1:29.8

I'm joined today by Paul Senior by John Gibbons and by Josh Williams.

1:33.5

Four very hungry lads looking for some big talking points today to get stuck into.

1:38.5

And luckily we've got a big one after the weekend, Arna Slot, his future, all these things pertaining and what the fuck is going on. What is life? More of that is to come. We've already spoken this season about why everybody else is having more fun than us, but somehow it got even less fun at the weekend. So we'll have a bit of a chat about the manager's future because it's been a big talking point since the weekend. I want to shout out Gibbo here to my left,

Gibbo sent me over a framework for this show, and it'll touch on a lot of these same issues discussed in the aforementioned episode of Unwrapped but this time through the lens of

2:19.9

michael edward and rich and Richard Hughes, who will ultimately make the decision over Honestl's future. So five areas I want to look at with you, gents, as if we are, Richard and Hughes in a lot of these scenarios. So one is loads of players taking time to gel, loads of new players taking time to The failure The failure to get a Gehi or a centre half in and the lack of a Diaz replacement, so squad building.
