Malaga Insiders

It has been an Oviedo-heavy week for Málaga with two games against the Asturians at La Rosaleda. A 1-0 cup triumph over Oviedo last Wednesday saw Málaga into the last 32 of the Copa del Rey, where Málaga will now take on Granada this weekend. We discuss how Granada are a club that Málaga should be looking up to, whether the cup is good for Málaga and just how bloody lovely a city Granada is.  Howe...

On this week’s podcast, we are joined by Sid Lowe of The Guardian and Spanish Football Podcast fame to talk about all things Málaga and Oviedo…as well as some Michu and fathering chat. First of all though, we look back on Málaga’s first game of the season: a 1-1 draw away to Albacete - or the Queso Mecánico (Clockwork Cheese) to give them their superb nickname. We also discuss Mejias’ New Year’s E...

IIIIIITTT’SSSS CHRISTMAAAAAAASSSSSSS! We have plenty of festive treats on our first ever Guiricast Christmas special, but first, we have our groans about that 0-0 draw against Logroñés.

Plus, we introduce our newest member to the Guiricast team, have Christmas songs and wishes...

Nevertheless, we move quickly on and celebrate getting through to the next round of the Copa del Rey with a 4-0 away win at Coruxo. Plus, on this week’s podcast, we discuss the faults of Benkhemassa (again) and more love for the yellow shirt (again), as well as live pacharán drinking, before looking ahead to this Sunday’s gam...

It is derby day in Andalusia this weekend and we look ahead to Málaga’s short trip down the road to Almería. We talk about our experiences in Almería, Turki Al-Sheikh’s experiences in Almería and John Lennon’s experiences in Almería, before inadvertently going into a bit of  Beatles chat. Back to football, we also discussed what is going wrong for Málaga at home (after the 2-1 loss to Cartagena at...

Málaga have hit the 25 point mark and are now halfway to the safety of 50 points, after a great week on the pitch for the club. This week, we discuss Malaga’s comeback from 2-0 down with 10 men to get a point at home v Lugo, before then moving on to look back on a great 2-0 win at Estadio Fernando Torres against Fuenlabrada. Plus, we discuss who has the best/worst moustache at Málaga, roundabouts,...

Was Malaga's 1-0 win over Girona their best performance of the season? The Guiricast think quite possibly so. On this week's podcast, we try to brush over our 2-1 loss to Leganés on Saturday and get straight to talking excitedly about a great Malaga win at Girona on Tuesday - and talk less excitedly about Benkhemassa. We then try to look ahead to our Friday night game against Lugo, before realisin...

Málaga’s pilgrimage to Ponferrada doesn’t quite go to plan and ends with a red card each for Benkhemassa and Pellicer. We look back on our 1-1 draw away to Ponferradina and discuss Pellicer’s tactics, Pellicer’s subs and Pellicer being forced to walk through the streets of Málaga naked Game of Thrones-style. SHAME! Plus there is a lot of cucumber and mascot talk, as we look ahead to our game v Leg...

Málaga finally wear the fabled yellow third shirt and pick up 3 points whilst wearing it.

During Halloween week, Málaga have horrors of their own with a 3-1 loss to Mallorca followed by a 3-0 home loss to Espanyol.

Next up for Los Boquerones is Sabadell, which gives Matt the opportunity to talk about his favourite Spanish bank and make a lot of rubbish bank...

The preseason optimism flies out the window already, as we look back on Málaga's opening game of the season: a 2-0 loss at Tenerife.
