Malaga Insiders

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.

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...

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...

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...
