Good riddance to the 2022/2023 season -  adiós. Malaga’s season finished with a drab 1-1 draw at La Rosaleda against bottom-of-the-league Ibiza, but while the stuff on the pitch was fairly tepid, things off the pitch were much more heated. We not only looked back on events from this past Saturday, but we also reviewed the season that was and discussed how much of a disaster it actually was and wha...

It is done and it is official: Málaga are relegated and will be playing in the Primera RFEF next season. Those days of working out all the different ways Málaga could stay up are at an end after Málaga lost 2-1 to Alavés this past Saturday. We discussed the game which finally killed off any chance of salvation, before looking ahead to a now pretty pointless home game against Ibiza to finish the se...

Málaga delay the inevitable for another week by comfortably winning 2-0 at La Rosaleda this past Saturday against a pretty submissive Mirandés. We talked about the game and the protests that happened before and during the game, before looking ahead to our trip to Alavés where an actual miracle now needs to occur for Málaga to stay up. Plus, we talked about the hunt for a new Sporting Director, Atl...

After the loss against Ponferradina our believe is gone and we try to accept the  that primera RFEF is a fact for Malaga next season. We flushed all our hopes and excelenetas through the toilet, yes it’s just another sh*t show.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It was another raucous afternoon around La Rosaleda on Bank Holiday Monday, as 1000s of fans gathered to greet the Malaga team bus ahead of the game against Huesca. Sadly, the game itself was less raucous and a drab 0-0 draw played out with the headline of the game being Ruben Castro missing an 80th penalty. We reflected on what that point does to Malaga’s survival chances and what they need to do...

A double helping of Málaga sport on this episode of Vamos a…, as Matt takes in not only Málaga's 0-0 draw against Huesca, but he also goes to his first-ever basketball, as he headed to watch the blue and white-clad Unicaja CB beat Badalona at the Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena. Plus, there's the madness of the recibimiento before the Málaga game and the usual Victoria-fueled views f...

It is 3 wins in a row for the now mighty Málaga, as they lugged themselves all the way up to Lugo to secure a 2-0 win - a great effort from the team and an equally superb showing from the 500 or so fans that made the 2000km round trip to the north. We discussed a fairly comfortable win for Málaga up in Galicia, before turning our attention to our next game, which is against Huesca at La Rosaleda....

“¡Si, se puede!” indeed, as Málaga made it two wins in a row for the first time this season with a good 1-0 win against play-off-chasing Cartagena at a packed La Rosaleda. We looked back on another Málaga win, before looking ahead to another big game, as Málaga travel to fellow relegation placers Lugo in the lovely green land of Galicia. Plus, we talked about the other big event of this past Sunda...

A jolly time was had by all at La Rosaleda this weekend, as Málaga triumphed 1-0 against play-off chasing Cartagena in front of a lively home crowd. There wasn’t just a full house at La Rosaleda, as Matt was joined by Chris and Nick in his prematch ‘antics’, plus some of our Guiricast followers in the first-ever Guiricast meet-up on Spanish soil. Fair to say a good time was had by all and pacharán...

Good Friday was a very good Friday indeed for Málaga CF as they very much brought their A-Team and A game to defeat Villarreal’s B Team. However, it sadly looks like it was for nothing, as, as the Easter weekend’s fixtures continued, Málaga’s relegation rivals continued to crucify them as almost all the teams around Málaga won their games leaving Málaga pretty much back to square one. On the posit...

Matt spent the past week travelling to Andorra and then - via some days in Barcelona and Tarragona - to Villarreal to take in two Málaga away days in the space of one week. Plus, he made a pilgrimage to watch a former Spanish great play for CD Castellon.  He decided to take his ‘Vamos a…’ podcast on the road to record his road trip. Matt has more success this time around, as he finally gets to see...

In this episode we bring you the latest Málaga CF news and we talk about the boring loss against Andorra. We also look ahead to this weeks match against Villarreal B on good Friday.. will it be a good friday?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Just like the design on Leganés’ away shirt at La Rosaleda, the sun may be setting on Málaga’s aspirations to stay up, but the sun isn’t down quite yet, as this past Monday night they battled to a 2-0 win against an out-of-form Leganés. And they really did battle in a tough game which provided us with plenty of talking points for this week’s pod. Plus, after a week of international football, Málag...

A draw, a good performance and still ten points from safety - no you aren’t reading about last game week, but instead Málaga find themselves in the exact same position as the last matchday - except now they are a game closer to Judgement Day of course. This time Málaga took the game to Levante at La Rosaleda in a feisty 0-0 draw - we looked back at that Friday night game and poured over Málaga’s p...

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...

After the loss against Racing we are feeling down, but miracles do happen. Chris and Alex review the match against Racing Santander and joined by friend of the Guiricast Las Palmas Matt we preview the match against Las Palmas… do you believe in Miracles?  Learn more about your ad choices.

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...

After the defeat against Granada it’s time for probably the most important match for Malaga so far this season against Racing Santander.  This week we are joined by Racing fan Andy for the preview.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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...
