Malaga Insiders

Málaga take another step closer to the abyss as another game passes by with Málaga still ten points from safety. However, it was a good performance from Málaga out in Gran Canaria against high flying Las Palmas - and, of course, there was a superb debut from our latest boy wonder: Alex Calvo. We go again this Friday night at La Rosaleda with another high flyer coming to town, this time in the form...

Matt headed to La Rosaleda with Atherton Collieries' finest, Emil and Emma, in tow for Málaga's big crunch match against Racing...it was a Genaro crunch that ruined the game for Málaga though as his tackle put Málaga down to ten and ultimately set them on their way to a 1-0 loss. Don't let the football ruin your day though, as Bar Hermanos Madrid was packed with guiris up for a chat this week. Lea...

The chase is on. Málaga shortened the gap to salvation this week and now sit 5 points away from safety ahead of their trip to Andalusian neighbours Granada. We looked ahead to that game in the final part of this week’s podcast, but I think it’s fair to say the highlight of this week’s pod was looking back and reflecting on a superb performance at La Rosaleda this past Monday night. Málaga finally...

No upsetty and a game to forgetty at Albacete - at least a game to try and forgetty if you are a Málaga fan anyway. This might well be the game that we refer back to as one of the most brutal nails in the coffin at the end of the season. A 3-2 loss at Albacete sends Málaga deeper into the dropzone with the undoubted headline of the game being Luis Muñoz’s moment of madness leaving Málaga with ten...

A Friday night plight under the Friday night lights as Málaga kicked off the Segunda weekend by losing 1-0 to Real Oviedo at La Rosaleda. A poor performance was greeted by angry chants from angry fans at La Rosaleda and the only positive to take from the weekend is that Málaga could have been further away from salvation if it wasn’t for Racing and Ponferradina  playing out a draw two evenings late...

New manager in the dugout, but a very similar Málaga this past weekend, as Málaga notched another draw and another night without scoring. We looked back on our 0-0 draw away at Sporting Gijón and discussed whether there were any glimpses of something different brewing on the return of Pellicer. Then, it's Friday night lights for Málaga, as they take on Real Oviedo this Friday evening at La Rosaled...

One yet another crazy day at La Rosaleda, Nick, Chris and Alex bring you the latest news straight from Malaga CF. With Pepe Mel out and Sergio Pellicer back in, the guys give their thoughts on the club's survival chances and some 'stronger' views on the real reasons for Malaga's poor form. We also review last weekends draw with Burgos and look ahead to a trip to El Molinon for Pellicer's Second Co...

Málaga headed to the Basque country this past Sunday afternoon, but once again there was nothing to bask in at all as Málaga left Eibar with a 2-1 loss, despite scoring an 89th minute equaliser. We discussed how big a blow that loss could be for Málaga’s survival hopes, although we found positives in the form of our two new wingers, Lago Junior and Arvin Appiah. Then we moved on from Esteban Burgo...

Málaga kicked off 2023 with a 1-1 draw against Tenerife at La Rosaleda. It was a much better performance from Los Blanquiazules, but it was the same old story of failing to put the ball in the back of the net when on top. We discussed that draw and whether the point really is enough for Málaga, as a tough run of fixtures beckons. That tough run starts with an away trip to top of the league at Eiba...

In the first ‘Vamos a…’ episode of the New Year, Matt headed to La Rosaleda to watch Málaga take on Tenerife in what would be an important game for Málaga, but without the desired outcome. A 1-1 draw leaves Málaga still 4 points from safety, despite Málaga putting in a good performance against a tepid Tenerife. Of course, football was just part of the day as Matt was joined by Nick and his mate Da...

Happy New Year one and all! 2022 was a tough year for many people and that was certainly the case for Málaga Club de Fútbol too; hopefully it’s a ‘New Year, New Me’, for Málaga as they kick-off 2023 with a home game against Tenerife this coming Saturday evening. To talk all things Málaga v Tenerife, we were joined by Chris Todd of the Armada Sur supporters’ group in Tenerife. Plus, we discussed th...

Just a few hours after Leo Messi lifted the World Cup, another Argentine was busy lifting spirits at la Rosaleda. A sole Pablo Chavarria goal was enough for Málaga to secure 3 points against Alavés in the last league game of 2022. We discussed that massive win for Málaga as well as having a quick look ahead to our cup game against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, before reviewing our first half of the seas...

In a week where are other football podcasts are analysing the World Cuo semi-finals, here, at the Guiricast, we’ll be sticking to focusing on the nitty gritty lower realms of Segunda football as Malaga once again flattered to deceive by claiming just two points from six this past week in another two ‘must win’ games. We took a brief look back on Malaga’s rainy 1-1 draw against Granada at La Rosale...

Matt made another long journey up the coast for another Málaga away day - this time he headed to Valencia to watch Los Blanquiazules take on Levante at Estadi Ciutat de València. Málaga sunk to another 1-0 loss, but Matt had an enjoyable trip taking in a night in Alicante and revelling in the awesome city that is Valencia. Plus, it turns out he finds Kiss Cam hilarious.

Málaga won their second home game of the season and only their second home win in the past 12 months with a 1-0 win against Ponferradina. We looked back on that performance and discussed whether it was a much deserved win or did we get lucky? They’ll need a lot of luck in their next game as they travel away to in form Levante with Matt heading along to Valencia to watch the game. Plus, we chatted...

Málaga still sit bottom of the league and are still six points away from safety, but at least there is perhaps a tiny glimpse of hope. Ten-man Málaga battled bravely this past Saturday to a 1-1 draw away at Zaragoza, thanks to Haitam’s first goal for the club and some heroics from Rubén Yáñez in the Málaga goal. We looked back at the game and discussed whether it was a case of a point won or point...

It’s been a busy week on the pitch for Málaga CF with 2 games in the space of 4 days. Last Thursday, 10-man Málaga fell 2-1 away at Cartagena despite a brave showing, before we returned home to La Rosaleda on Sunday, where a late Juande equaliser grabbed our boys a deserved point. Málaga remain the league’s colista and now sit 6 points away from safety with no league game for 2 weeks, as this week...

With a week off work, Matt decided to venture down the coast to watch Málaga play at FC Cartagena on a Thursday night. Joining him was fellow Guiricaster Alex Ashmore, Alex's dad and Russ Pearce of 'Seagulls Over Spain' (and another signed up member of the Jack Harper Appreciation Society it seems). Listen for Matt clearly loving saying the word 'Carrrtagena' (and saying the stadium name wrong thr...

With Matt and Alex both on their travels to Murcia this week, Nick and Chris go rogue to bring you a LIVE recording of the Guiricast as we looked ahead to the games against FC Cartagena and Sporting Gijon.

Another matchday at La Rosaleda, another loss for Málaga. There was little joy to take from the 1-0 loss to Eibar, but Matt made sure he prepared himself in the usual way: by drinking lots of Victoria prematch. Expect the usual chat at Bar Hermanos Madrid and the reaction to events unfolding at La Rosaleda as they happened.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After last week’s jubilation of securing a home win, it’s back to the same old Málaga this week, as once again they sunk to a defeat against one of their rivals down in the lowly depths of the Segunda. A 1-0 loss away to Oviedo further cemented Málaga’s position one off bottom of the table and we spent this episode discussing what went wrong once again and whether a team of Pingu, Chilly Willy and...

After 330 days, Málaga have won a home game! Málaga triumphed over Lugo this past Sunday and performed brilliantly in a 3-2 win, with Lugo’s two goals coming in injury time to keep the home fans on their toes at the end. We wax lyrical about Cristián, Hervías, Ruben Castro and pretty much the whole team, before we look ahead to our Monday night game against Real Oviedo. Plus, we talk about José Ma...
