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 Coming.

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 Burgos volleys to Burgos Club de Fútbol coming to La Rosaleda this Saturday afternoon. Is this the most ‘must winniest’ of must win gams for Málaga so far this season?

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 Eibar. Joining us to preview that game was Eibar fan Liam, who runs the European Football Express on Twitter (@TheEuroFE). Plus, we talked about a the latest transfers new at La Rosaleda, a Málaga player turning Super Sonic and we talk about the joys of Nick’s mate Dave - Málaga’s newest fan.

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 Dave, who claimed he’d get a Málaga tattoo if his 2-1 prediction came true, and they took in some of the regular Málaga haunts, before the usual prematch drinks at Bar Hermanos Madrid with the Guiri Army.

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 the transfer window, which has now swung open, and we looked at those names linked with joining Málaga, as well as those who have already departed the club.

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 season so far.

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 Rosaleda last Thursday and then we looked back on their equally rainy 1-1 away draw at Ibiza from the weekend. Hopefully, more points can rain on Málaga this coming weekend as Alaves CF come to La Rosaleda. We discussed whether Malaga have any chance of claiming a Victoria against the team from Vitoria…

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 being repped at the World Cup, Haitam’s injury and why someone called ‘Lucky Tom’ and Matt changing seats at La Rosaleda led Málaga to victory.

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 points lost.

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 we have a distraction. That distraction comes in the form of the Copa del Rey - where Málaga travel to SCR Pena Deportiva in an idyllic little corner of Ibiza. Plus, we talk about Rahmani, talk of the Guiricast meet-up in Manchester ahead of the Football Content Awards and ‘The Best Ibiza Anthems…Ever!’.
