What does it take to step into Premier League management — and follow in the footsteps of a close friend?

In this episode of the talkSPORT Daily, Natalie Sawyer sits down with Brentford boss Keith Andrews for an honest and engaging conversation about ambition, opportunity and belief.

Andrews reflects on the influence of Thomas Frank - a friend and a key reason behind his move to Brentford - and whether he believes Frank will bounce back. There’s a lighter moment as he admits how much he’s enjoying management, before revealing he first set his sights on the job at just 29, while still playing.

He also discusses the lessons he’s learned, Brentford’s European ambitions, Igor Thiago's dreams of being Brazil's number 9, and how his side could yet have a say in the title race.

Insightful and quietly confident, this is a compelling look at a manager embracing his moment in the Premier League.

Fiery Fridays are BACK and in today's episode, Adrian Durham believes Mr Marinakis is making Forest Great again by sacking his 4th manager this season, Sean Dyche... Alex Crook of course completely disagrees! Angelina Kelly gets a bit from Crooky after saying Spurs fans should stop fantasising over Mauricio Pochettino following Thomas Frank's sacking & Crooky also tears into the guy that's growing his hair until Man United win 5 in a row - Crooky was on one!

As you know by now every Friday, it’s all about bold opinions, strong feelings, and arguments just waiting to happen. Because as the week winds down, we’re turning the heat all the way up… That's another three HUGE opinions… no sitting on the fence… and absolutely no fear of things getting a little heated.

Adrian Durham brings you a comprehensive round-up of Wednesday evening's Premier League action, which was all exclusively live across the talkSPORT network, plus all the fallout to Thomas Frank's departure as Tottenham Hotspur manager. Adrian was joined by former England striker, Dean Ashton, our Manchester correspondent and former England left-back, Micky Gray, and former Arsenal midfielder, Adrian Clarke.

After Manchester City beat Fulham 3-0, are they coming for table toppers Arsenal? Liverpool became the first team to win at the Stadium Of Light this season, but has that result eased any pressure on Arne Slot? There were more dropped points for Sean Dyche, this time at home to basement side Wolves, so could his day's be numbered as Nottingham Forest boss? Is Fabian Hurzeler under pressure at Brighton after another defeat? Could Burnley pull off an incredible escape after their win at Crystal Palace? And after Spurs sacked Thomas Frank, could they genuinely get relegated?
