Malaga Insiders

Matt arrives back in town just in time for Málaga's first home game of the season - and it feels like he probably shouldn't have bothered, as he witnessed a pathetic performance from the home team as they were battered 4-0 by Las Palmas. Matt did enjoy getting the new Hummel shirts though and enjoyed drinking Victorias again; you can expect to hear drinking some of those whilst talking to the fans...

After a second game to forget and a humbling at the hands of Las Palmas, you'd forgive the Guiricast boys for keeping their heads down and staying in bed. However, thanks to the dedication to our listeners (especially you Luke), we got Chris out of bed and he joined Nick to bring you all the latest news from Malaga CF and to review that horror show from Monday Night.

That's a wrap on Malaga’s 2021/2022 Segunda season - and thank god it is over, as Malaga have staggered over the finish line in recent months. And that staggering continued right up until the last game, as Malaga were at their most bereft again, as they lost 1-0 away to Lugo. We looked back at our final game of the season, before heading from the red and white of Lugo to the glittering red carpet...

Permanencia has been achieved and Málaga will be staying in the Segunda. Happy days…or is it? A less than impressed La Rosaelda let its thought be known to the team on Saturday night following the full-time whistle of Málaga 0-1 Burgos. Boos and whistles came down from the stands despite Málaga staying up. We discussed that 1-0 loss, and the fan reaction postmatch, before looking ahead to a fairly...

A triumphant weekend for Málaga with a vital 2-0 win away to Tenerife. A superb performance from all involved helped Málaga get 5 points clear of the drop zone. We revelled in that 2-0 win at Tenerife before looking ahead to our next game, as Burgos come to La Rosaleda where a home win will mean guaranteed safety. Plus, we discussed Antoñín and Kevin’s omission from the last matchday squad and Mál...

Guiricast Episode 100 - amazingly we have somehow made 100 episodes of this stuff and we can now consider ourselves part of the podcast 100 club. Quite a landmark episode for us in a week which might be looked back on as a landmark week for Málaga this season. Real Sociedad B narrowed the gap to just 1 point to Málaga in 18th, before Málaga earned a credible draw against Oviedo to increase that ga...

Matt headed to La Rosaleda for Málaga's 0-0 draw with Real Oviedo. Not the most thrilling game, but a great atmosphere - as you will hear on the podcast. Hear the views of the fans pre- and post-match at Bar Hermanos Madrid and the reaction from the stands as it happened.  Plus, we discover Chris Marquez's biggest fan.

The heat is very much on Málaga now, as Amorebieta and Real Sociedad B, below them in the league, gain ground over Málaga in the race to stay above the relegation precipice. Málaga did not help their own plight by losing their Friday night game away to Las Palmas with goals from Jonathan Viera and Jesé helping Las Palmas grab all 3 points, despite Aleix Febas replying with a goal late on. And thin...

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...
