Malaga Insiders

Málaga showed a lot of bravery this past weekend against Eibar the Brave, as they put in a hearty performance with ten men against the team top of the pack at the moment. We looked back on what was eventually a 3-1 loss, but a 3-1 loss with plenty of positives to take from it. Then we’re off to the Canary Islands to look ahead to our Friday night clash with Las Palmas. To talk all things Pío Pío,...

It’s all aboard La Guedeneta this week as Málaga scored 3…yes 3 goals…to beat Leganés at Butarque. Not even a superhero like Súper Pepino could have thwarted Málaga in this game as a great performance led to a resounding win and a comfortable 3 points for Los Blanquiazules. We looked back over that away win before preparing to welcome top of the league Eibar to La Rosaleda this coming Saturday. Pl...

There was a real improvement from Málaga this weekend against Real Valladolid, but sadly they threw away a two-goal lead to earn only a point in the first game of the Guede era. We discussed what sort of impact the new manager has had already, before looking ahead to our game against Leganés this coming Saturday. Plus, we discussed Genaro signing a new contract and Pablo Guede’s impressive squat p...

It was the first matchday of the new Pablo Guede era and the Guiricast were there in force with Matt joined by Alex, Nick and former guest Marc Harrison (Matt's brother) in the stands of La Rosaleda. And what a great game too, although Málaga will be disappointed at letting a 2-0 lead slip. There are the usual reactions from the stands, the prematch views at Bar Hermanos Madrid and Marc speaks in...

He’s Natxo manager anymore...that’s right, Natxo Gonzalez is out at La Rosaleda after just 1 win in 10. And we’re in with the new in the form of Pablo Guede. We discussed our 2nd managerial change of the season, as well as looking back over Natxo’s final game as manager - last Friday night’s 1-0 loss away to Girona. Then it was time to look ahead to the first game of the Pablo Guede era, with his...

It was back to back defeats for Malaga, as Huesca took all 3 points home from La Rosaleda on Sunday in what was probably the worst game of the season. A perculiar team selection yielded no change in fortunes for an ailing Naxto Gonzalez as goals from Mateu and Seoane condemed the home side to a 2-0 defeat. Chris, Alex and Nick look back over the game whilst giving their verdicts on how Naxto still...

Things continued to go south for Málaga in the south of Madrid, as Málaga lose 1-0 to relegation rivals Fuenlabrada. A Mohamed Bouldini goal is enough to defeat a hapless Málaga and even with a 7 point cushion from the relegation zone, it is fair to say that the Guiricast are worried. We discussed, once again, what is going wrong for Málaga before looking ahead to our home game against Huesca and...

On the first-ever away day version of our 'Vamos a...' series, Matt and Alex head to the south of Madrid to watch Málaga take on Fuenlabrada. With a large away following behind them, Málaga disappoints again, as Matt and Alex go through the highs and lows of the game, there are plenty of anti-Ontiveros chants to listen to and they discuss the joys of a free tapa of fried aubergines. Learn more abo...

It was the second draw in a row for Málaga at La Rosaleda - this time the draw came in the form of a 0-0 draw against Ponferradina. A 0-0 draw, but still enough talking points for us with some surprises in the starting XI again, a young player excelling on his debut and a possible penalty shout turned down. As always, we looked ahead to Málaga’s game this coming weekend, which sees Los Blanquiazul...

Málaga had the better of Amorebieta and finally grabbed a win - their first win since the 3rd January. But, were we actually that much better? Or was this another flat performance? We discussed that 2-1 win at Amorebieta on this week’s pod. Then, we looked ahead to Saturday night’s game against Ponferradina at La Rosaleda and we were once again delighted to be joined by Ponfe superfan Chris Pidgeo...

Málaga came agonisingly close to their first win under Natxo González this week, but got spectacularly denied by an old face, as Shinji Okazaki delivered an overhead kick with the last kick of the game to make it a 1-1 draw against Cartagena. We look back on what effect that draw will have on Málaga, ahead of our game versus Amorebieta, and the positives to be taken from the performance. Plus, we...

Málaga may have played a B team this week, but they were very much a B-eaten team, as they lost 2-0 in San Sebastian to Xabi Alonso’s Real Sociedad B. Things just keep getting worse for Málaga at the moment causing a group of fans to vent their anger outside La Rosaleda this week. We discuss that away loss as well as trying to find some hope ahead of our upcoming home game v Cartagena. Learn more...

On this week's podcast we celebrate Luis Muñoz signing a new contract at Málaga until 2025. There's less to celebrate on the pitch this week, as we discuss Málaga's 1-0 loss in our Andalucían Derby against Almería.  Plus, we look ahead to our trip to Real Sociedad B this weekend.

No raiding La Romareda this season, as Málaga come away from Zaragoza with just a draw in a game that lacked quality (Dani Barrio aside) but did get Natxo González his first point as Málaga manager. We looked back on that 1-1 draw, before heading back home to Andalucía ready for an Andalucían derby. This Saturday 2nd place Almería come to Málaga and we were joined by our favourite Almería fan Bria...

He’s 'Natxo' manager, Natxo is Málaga’s manager - that’s right, last week appointed Natxo Gonzalez as their manager, replacing the recently sacked Jose Alberto. We discussed the new man in the Málaga hotseat, as well as his first game in charge away to Mirandés; a new manager, but the same Málaga as the week before, with Málaga going down 3-0 on the road. Plus, we look ahead to our game v Zaragoza...

Ibiza, a place synonymous with partying,  brought their party to La Rosaleda, as they hammered Los Blanquiazules 5-0. The fans demanded blood and they got it, as that loss has now seen Jose Alberto sacked for his position as manager of Málaga CF. We discussed the end of the Jose Alberto era and potential new managers, as well as the tragic loss of a Málaga legend Antonio Benitez this week. Plus, w...

‘Don’t let the football ruin your day,’ is the moniker of many a match-going football fan, but it is hard to not view the day as ruined when you’ve just watched your team lose 5-0 at home. Matt - along with fellow Guiricaster Chris - take in a bleak night at La Rosaleda (even though Matt clearly doesn’t see it coming with some remarkably optimistic (and naive) thoughts at half-time). Plus, there’s...

On the latest Guiricast Plus, we got to talk with Málaga’s biggest Reggae artist: Little Pepe. We talked to him about his new song, ‘Soy un Lion’ and his love for Málaga and its football team. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It’s been two weeks without a game for Málaga and now we are ready to get back into the fray at La Rosaleda, as this Saturday Ibiza come to town. We talked with UD Ibiza fan Oliver Merlin about how Ibiza’s season is going so far, what Málaga can expect from Ibiza's Paco Jemez revolution and we discuss Cifu's apparent hipster lifestyle (according to Wikipedia). Plus, we talk about Antoñín's seeming...

Málaga returned to La Rosaleda for the first time in 2022, picking up a point against Sporting Gijón in a thrilling game. There were VAR calls, new signings impressing, flukey goals and one player in particular reminding us of how capable he can be, as Ramón delivers a masterclass and a wonder goal. We will look back at Sunday evening’s game, as well as talking about our new mascot, Súper Boke, ne...

Matt takes in a brilliant game at La Rosaleda, as Málaga earn a draw against Sporting Gijón with a late Ramón wonder strike to make it 2-2. Plus, Matt finds more Swansea fans around La Rosaleda than ever before, he talks a lot about Kevin (again) and meets the ‘boisterous’ young lads of a Rotterdam based football team on tour.

Feliz año a todos. It’s the start of 2022 and a time when you will hear people spouting the phrase ‘New Year, New Me’ and it seems that Málaga are very much following the ‘New Year, New Me’ philosophy. It’s out with the Málaga of 2021 and in with the new 2022 version, as Málaga have finally won their first league game away from home this season in the opening game of 2022  We’ll be looking back on...

Feliz Navidad We are back for another Christmas special full of festive cheer and Christmas crackers…well...sort of. Sadly, Málaga got themselves thrown on the naughty list this week with a second consecutive defeat at La Rosaleda. Like every Christmas, there are some parts you just have to slog through at times and we’ll be unwrapping what went wrong at La Rosaleda this past Saturday. At least Jo...

After weeks and weeks, Málaga finally put in a great performance away from home by securing a point at Eibar in a game they could have easily won. Could this be the big turning point for Málaga’s travel issues?...Well, apparently not, as our boys were dumped unceremoniously out of the cup by 3rd tier Rayo Majadahonda. We’ll look back on two very different showings on this week’s podcast. Then it's...

After a rather quiet period for Málaga off the pitch, disaster struck as FIFA imposed a transfer ban on us. In this podcast we discuss the implications of said ban, how Málaga can avoid it and FIFA, the organisation as a whole. On the field, things have taken a turn for the worse in the league as Málaga lost their undefeated home record with a 2-1 loss to SD Amorebieta. This is was the main topic...
