Malaga Insiders

It has been a busy week for Málaga on the pitch having played two games in the space of four days. First, we had a 1-1 draw with Zaragoza at La Rosaleda on Saturday night, before we travelled up to Zaragoza’s neighbours Huesca on Tuesday night to play out another draw - this time a 0-0. Both points will be considered disappointing, but disappointing for very different reasons, with a controversial VAR decision playing a key role to stop Málaga from winning at Huesca (Chris decides to use an Outhere Brothers song to depict his feelings on the decision). We’ll look back over those two games and we’ll also be looking ahead to our game v Lugo this coming Saturday with Lugo fan Carlos.

  Matt takes you to La Rosaleda once again, as Málaga take on Zaragoza. A fairly underwhelming Málaga performance leaves Matt disappointed, but he does get to enjoy Brandon’s beautiful backheeled goal (although he initially thinks it is Roberto’s goal). Plus, you can expect controversial Spanish beer views from one of the guiris, talk of Huddersfield’s finest brewery and Derek the Geordie not wearing a tea towel on his head.

Málaga stopped their run of 3 away losses in a row with a well-earned point away to Valladolid Friday night. We’ll look back at that game and rejoice in the fact that Brandon Thomas got his first goal for the club. Then, this coming Saturday, we return to Fortress La Rosaleda, as Real Zaragoza come to town. We spoke to Zaragoza fan and Spanish Segunda Show co-host Liam Bambridge about all things Zaragoza - from their more glorious past to the relative shambles they find themselves in at the moment. Plus, we chat about the fashion sense of footballers and managers (again), Chris’ upcoming trip to London and which member of England’s Italia 90 squad would we most like to go to a Segunda game with.

It was a return to Home Sweet Home form for Málaga this past weekend. After two losses on the road, Málaga bounced back with a comfortable 1-0 win over Fuenlabrada on Sunday afternoon. In our review of the game, there is special praise for Brandon, a big thumbs up for Mathieu ‘French Cuisine’ Peybernes’ glorious headed goal and praise for a dog wearing a Málaga shirt. To look ahead to Friday’s game against Real Valladolid, we were joined by Alex Fitzpatrick of the Spanish Segunda Show to give us the lowdown on La Pucela, the Segunda in general and his views on Málaga so far this season. Plus, we talk Al Thani, Victoria beer, managerial fashion and much more.

Fortress La Rosaleda strikes again as Málaga continue their excellent home form with a 1-0 win against Fuenlabrada. Matt was there to watch it and bask in the glory of the three points and in the prematch and postmatch frivolities. On the latest Vamos a La Rosaleda Matt talks with lots of Geordies, we celebrate Brandon Thomas being great out on the left and you can even expect an appearance from former Oldham and Rochdale centre back Keith Hicks.

That’s now two losses in a row for Málaga, as their woes on the road continue. This time the team lost 2-1 to a very good - and table-topping - Sporting Gijón, with the added disadvantage of having ten men for over 80 minutes. We look back at a feisty game in El Molinón, before looking forward to returning home to La Rosaleda this Sunday to take on Fuenlabrada. Plus, Chris celebrates the ‘hooligan’ spirit of Brandon Thomas, Matt reveals he might have cursed Escassi’s number 23 shirt and we discover there is little interesting to say about the Fuenlabrada area of Madrid.

Málaga are absolutely steamrollered by Ponferradina and we are here to pick up the pieces. We discuss what exactly went wrong at Ponfe and what Málaga can do to improve in the next game against Sporting Gijón. Plus, Chris gives his blunt views on the MLS, we talk about Bolo’s trousers and Jose Alberto’s fashion sense and we decide if this Málaga team was a band, who would they be and why.

In the latest episode of Vamos a La Rosaleda, Matt gets to witness another barnstorming Málaga performance, as they comfortably beat Girona 2-0. There is a Paulino screamer to enjoy (although Matt doesn’t realise quite how much of a screamer it was until after the game), chat with Ken of The Tavern fame and, of course, prematch beers and talk with the Guiri Army at Bar Hermanons Madrid prematch. What an atmosphere at La Rosaleda too!

Málaga’s undefeated start to the season ends with a 2-0 loss to ten-man Almería, but we try to look on the bright side of the result, as well as discussing whether we have been too dreamy with our thoughts on where Málaga should aim to finish this season. Plus, we are joined by Girona Jim who, unsurprisingly, gives us the lowdown on Girona - Málaga’s next opponents. You can also expect chats about watermelon wine, Alec Eiffel’s shoddy bridge design in Girona and the news that season tickets will be on sale at Málaga next week.
