Malaga Insiders

Another away game, another away loss - this podcast is getting far too repetitive post-away games. Our main focus this week will be on the embarrassing performance in the snow, as Malaga lost 3-0 at Burgos. Plus we’ll look forward to returning to La Rosaleda this weekend to take on Amorebieta, as well as a brief Copa del Rey preview as Malaga travel to fourth-tier Pena Sport - a glorious chance to...

In front of a boisterous atmosphere, Málaga secured another home win, as Los Boquerones beat Las Palmas 2-1 in a fast-paced game full of quality and controversy. We have a lot to go through with this humdinger of a game, before we then try to find an answer to how Málaga can claim their first away win of the season at Burgos. Plus, we talk about Ramón’s injury woes, Josemi’s New York half marathon...

In front of a season-high 22,000 fans, Málaga win once again at La Rosaleda. This time, Las Palmas fell foul to fortress La Rosaleda, as Malaguistas created another amazing atmosphere, Matt takes you to the reception for the players two hours before kick-off, there are the usual Victoria-fuelled chats at Bar Hermanons Madrid and there are giddy ramblings as Málaga take a late lead. Learn more abou...

It’s Canary Islands week at La Rosaleda this week with home games against Tenerife and Las Palmas. We started Monday night with another 1-0 victory at La Rosaleda, as Tenerife fell victim to Málaga’s good home form (and some rather suspect refereeing). We look back over Monday’s night game against Tenerife, before looking ahead to our game with Las Palmas with Matt Rayns of the UDLP UK Fan Zone. P...

For the latest Guiricast Plus episode, we talked to Dani Strindholm - Málaga's highly thought of young Swedish goalie, who has played between the sticks for Atlético Malagueño and Sweden’s U19s and has been with the senior squad of Málaga on several occasions. He tells us about his upbringing in Málaga and his love for Málaga CF; how he still has a season ticket at La Rosaleda and his trips to the...

After a brief discussion about Málaga’s 2-1 home win against Real Sociedad B, we move on to discussing our nightmare performance in Cartagena. The worst performance of the season? Undoubtedly. We discuss Málaga’s lame 3-1 away defeat to Cartagena, as well as talking to Chris Todd about our upcoming game against Tenerife. Plus, Matt pitches his Bobby Boquerón mascot idea, we talk about fan treatmen...

On a chilly Thursday night at La Rosaleda, Málaga defeat Real Sociedad B 2-1 to continue their excellent home form, which now moves them up to 8th in the league. Matt heads to La Rosaleda to watch a decent performance from the home side, but an exceptional one from Antonin, who looked back to his best in this game. Plus, there's the usual prematch stuff, such as Matt talking about Manchester a lot...

Another home game, another game without defeat - Málaga’s excellent home form continues with a comfortable 1-0 win over Lugo. We discuss Genaro’s excellent finish, a return to form for Antoñín and we wax lyrical about Victor Gomez and his performance - a performance we unanimously decide is the best individual performance of the season so far. Then we look ahead to our game against Oviedo, but ins...

Matt takes you to La Rosaleda once again, as he takes in Málaga’s comfortable 1-0 win over Lugo. Matt’s day started with him befriending a German guy in the bar and convincing him to join him at the game - and of course at Bar Hermanos Madrid, where the usual array of guiris could be found. You can expect the usual nonsense of Victoria beer chat, Kevin being compared to Kevin de Bruyne, Matt being...

It has been a busy week for Málaga on the pitch having played two games in the space of four days. First, we had a 1-1 draw with Zaragoza at La Rosaleda on Saturday night, before we travelled up to Zaragoza’s neighbours Huesca on Tuesday night to play out another draw - this time a 0-0. Both points will be considered disappointing, but disappointing for very different reasons, with a controversial...

  Matt takes you to La Rosaleda once again, as Málaga take on Zaragoza. A fairly underwhelming Málaga performance leaves Matt disappointed, but he does get to enjoy Brandon’s beautiful backheeled goal (although he initially thinks it is Roberto’s goal). Plus, you can expect controversial Spanish beer views from one of the guiris, talk of Huddersfield’s finest brewery and Derek the Geordie not wear...

Málaga stopped their run of 3 away losses in a row with a well-earned point away to Valladolid Friday night. We’ll look back at that game and rejoice in the fact that Brandon Thomas got his first goal for the club. Then, this coming Saturday, we return to Fortress La Rosaleda, as Real Zaragoza come to town. We spoke to Zaragoza fan and Spanish Segunda Show co-host Liam Bambridge about all things Z...

It was a return to Home Sweet Home form for Málaga this past weekend. After two losses on the road, Málaga bounced back with a comfortable 1-0 win over Fuenlabrada on Sunday afternoon. In our review of the game, there is special praise for Brandon, a big thumbs up for Mathieu ‘French Cuisine’ Peybernes’ glorious headed goal and praise for a dog wearing a Málaga shirt. To look ahead to Friday’s gam...

Fortress La Rosaleda strikes again as Málaga continue their excellent home form with a 1-0 win against Fuenlabrada. Matt was there to watch it and bask in the glory of the three points and in the prematch and postmatch frivolities. On the latest Vamos a La Rosaleda Matt talks with lots of Geordies, we celebrate Brandon Thomas being great out on the left and you can even expect an appearance from f...

That’s now two losses in a row for Málaga, as their woes on the road continue. This time the team lost 2-1 to a very good - and table-topping - Sporting Gijón, with the added disadvantage of having ten men for over 80 minutes. We look back at a feisty game in El Molinón, before looking forward to returning home to La Rosaleda this Sunday to take on Fuenlabrada. Plus, Chris celebrates the ‘hooligan...

Málaga are absolutely steamrollered by Ponferradina and we are here to pick up the pieces. We discuss what exactly went wrong at Ponfe and what Málaga can do to improve in the next game against Sporting Gijón. Plus, Chris gives his blunt views on the MLS, we talk about Bolo’s trousers and Jose Alberto’s fashion sense and we decide if this Málaga team was a band, who would they be and why. Learn mo...

Pau-Paulino powers Málaga to a 2-0 win over Girona, as more fans are allowed into La Rosaleda to watch another excellent performance. We discuss the win that took Málaga into the Top 6, before we turn our attention to the Top 2, as Málaga head to second place Ponferradina this coming Sunday. Joining to talk Ponfe v Málaga is, of course, Mr. Ponferradina himself, Chris Pidgeon. Plus, Matt moans abo...

In the latest episode of Vamos a La Rosaleda, Matt gets to witness another barnstorming Málaga performance, as they comfortably beat Girona 2-0. There is a Paulino screamer to enjoy (although Matt doesn’t realise quite how much of a screamer it was until after the game), chat with Ken of The Tavern fame and, of course, prematch beers and talk with the Guiri Army at Bar Hermanons Madrid prematch. W...

Málaga’s undefeated start to the season ends with a 2-0 loss to ten-man Almería, but we try to look on the bright side of the result, as well as discussing whether we have been too dreamy with our thoughts on where Málaga should aim to finish this season. Plus, we are joined by Girona Jim who, unsurprisingly, gives us the lowdown on Girona - Málaga’s next opponents. You can also expect chats about...

Málaga grab their first win of the season with a convincing 1-0 win over Alcorcón and another ‘fun’ performance - we talk about taking more shots, the excellent performance of our full-backs and how great are Kevin’s hips. Next up is the Andalusian Derby against Almería and so we look ahead to our toughest game of the season so far, with Almería fan Brian joining us for a chat. Plus, we recorded h...

Matt was at La Rosaleda for Málaga’s 2nd home game of the season and Málaga’s first win of the season. He chats with the Guiri Army over some prematch Victorias, witnesses another excellent performance from young Kevin, drinks into the early hours in a bar opposite La Rosaleda and then inevitably buys the new Málaga away shirt - complete with ‘ESCASSI 23’ - the next day. It’s all chronicled here,...

After Málaga’s 2-2 draw on the island of Ibiza, we talked about how the game was ‘Up and Down’, but also how Málaga came back with a ‘Boom! Boom! Boom! Plus, we look ahead to Friday night’s game at home to AD Alcorcón, where we are joined by Alex O’Brien to tell us about the club from southern Madrid, and we also talk about the new (old) faces at La Rosaleda. Learn more about your ad choices. Visi...

Malaga's first game of the season may have finished with a 0-0 draw, but this goalless draw with Mirandes provided plenty of action and talking points. We discussed Málaga's exciting new style under José Alberto, how the new signings got on and, of course, the name on the lips of all Málaga fans right now: Kevin. Plus, we look ahead to our Sunday evening trip to UD Ibiza - a young club embarking o...

It was the first game of the Segunda season and the first league game at La Rosaleda with fans for 526 days. Matt was never going to miss it and so he decided to record his day out in the first episode of our new ‘Vamos a La Rosaleda’ series. For his first La Rosaleda trip in almost 18 months, he was lucky enough to be joined by his fellow Guiricaster Chris and they got to witness the exciting sta...

We are days away from the start of the new Segunda season, as Málaga kick-off at home against Mirandés. The players will be back at La Rosaleda, but more importantly so will the fans. We preview our first game of the season with 'Mirandés-curious' Tony Greenall. Plus, we discuss another new signing, Málaga's latest preseason friendlies and the Málaga shirts finally going on sale.
