I went on a stadium tour of Malaga's stadium back in like 2012, when they were in La Liga and had players like Van Nistelrooy and Caballero. They were so genuinely surprised to have some tourists come to their stadium for a tour and we got a private tour of the stadium with all access and free gifts and signed postcards at the end. Awesome club!

I remember that match against Dortmund, how I supported Malaga and was more than thrilled when Eliseu scored, only to have my hopes destroyed when Santana's offside goal was not disallowed. However, many people forget that Eliseu's goal, as extraordinary as it may have seemed, was just as obvious of an offside, so it's not really fair to criticize Dortmund for that one. The only ones clearly in the wrong were all the referees who were on the pitch that night.

As a Malaga fan, you're a legend for making this. We have become an absolute laughing stock, and I'll be honest even I didn't know exactly what was going on. This video has helped me understand the situation better 😄

Congrats to anyone who had 'A Knockoff Jar Jar Binks impression' on their HITC Sevens Bingo Card. A researcher, video editor, content creator and now a distinguished voice actor. Is there anything Alfie can't do?

7:19 that league table is crazy just 4 points between 9th and 18th

Since simeone has been at Atlético Madrid for over 10 years now, you should do a video on his best seven signings or best XI

As a “Malaguista” I’ve been wanting a video like this for ages, and even better it’s been by you, let’s hope they can get back to the champions league 🙌

That intro had me crying

Your football documentary series is genuinely some of the best footballing content on KZfaq. Keep working your magic Alfie, it's always a joy to watch!

Had the privilege of going to Malaga's stadium when they were in the Champions League. Seen Van Nistelrooy casually leading a mini training session on the pitch.

I am 32 seconds in and I didn’t expect that start 😂

Alfie thanks for making these videos! Love more obscure football stories but don’t have much time to investigate them myself. These videos are perfect!

0:24 I'm sure this has meme potential. But he's right to be fair

FFP is a joke and is literally just there to stop the small clubs from challenging the bigger ones.

Thank you for actually addressing fans of these new "superclubs" who ignore the terrible things their owners do

The first 50 seconds got me. Excellent job! Love the work you do.

Seeing My local club fall so far from grace has been really sad and unjust. Thank you for making a video on it Alfie!

What a video, what a channel. In the world of TikTok and shorts, I'm always glad to see a creator who clearly puts alot of effort into his videos. Keep it up our kid. 👍

This is the best football channel I love how you look at the moral implication of the modern game

very well written intro. love the artistic comparisons of Picasso's cubism to the attempted rebuild at Malaga

I have a video idea! About Edinburgh Hearts and how they were ruined by Lithuanian/Russian businessman Vladimir Romanov, who also ruined one of the best lithuanian football club FKB Kaunas and also almost ruined best basketball team in Lithuania Kaunas ,,Žalgiris". Would be nice to have this story widespread and since you do have very professional and honest dives into a topics, I might even learn something I did not knew! Thank you for your work!

I usually hate it when people only pick out the mistakes in videos like these, but at 7:00, isn’t Manuel Pellegrini Chilean, rather than Argentinian? Love these “what on earth is going on” videos nonetheless Alfie, clicked on this one as soon as I saw it was out.

That was the greatest intro of all time. Great video as always, Alfie!

I remember a suggesting this a while back Thanks for making a video on it I didn't read the article on it cause I like your narration so I waited and forgot about it. Great vid♥️

Thank you for this video, it's very informative as to what is going on at this club.

This was one I always wanted to know. Much thanks Alfie

Fantastic analysis as always Alfie, just one minor correction though, Pellegrini is chilean, not argentine That being said, sublime content as usual, also the Jar Jar Binks toned impression at the beginning was just exquisite

hitcsevens love your work especially the fact that you covered the entire world and not just top league can you please do TP Mazembe 2010 World Cup please I’m sure people would love that story

Malaga are one of my favourite Spanish clubs ever but served them right for trying to be like a big overnight even after losing to Borussia Dortmund controversially in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League at that time even when they knew that they were a real smaller club in their history by only winning a title and their recklessness in their transfer spending and revenues which ultimately made the Spanish FA to investigate and filed a case on them regarding this,good friends!!!They are now in the Segunda Division which is the La Liga Smartbank which I have been watching almost all of the respective matches through You Tube and congratulations to Malaga by beating Alcorcon away at 1-0 to resurrect their season even though,they are practically struggling in the division at the moment with just a win out of their last 5 matches despite being in the 10th spot of the standings!!!I wish them well in the remaining of the season and kickstart next season strongly,good friends!!!

Love these whats going on videos

Absolutely love your channel and especially your what on earth videos! Would love to see you do one for Real Zaragoza if possible

HITC Sevens never fails to deliver. That intro is hilarious.

They almost knockout Dortmund in the quarter finals of the Champions League years ago. One of the craziest Champions League games.

You're the best x

I used to live there, I’m an Atletico Madrid fan, I’ve been a few times to La Rosaleda( Malaga’s stadium) there’s a great atmosphere. It’s so sad to see that they play in Segunda. I really hope that they will come up to La Liga. It’s a club with a rich history and the city is also beautiful. The club deserves better.

That intro, Alfie... you got me laughing and depressed at the same time! But that funny voice, LMAO 🤣

Just watched this video as a ex pat and west ham united man I now live in the Malaga area I always wondered what happened to Malaga CF , now I know thank you Alfie great video (as usual) , they still get large crowds the Guru Army (ex pats mainly English) still go home and away, Thanks Again for the video

Great video, very insightful and nice to see lots of people care about what's happened. Sadly it's all too common nowadays, definitely in England anyway! Hope Malaga can sell the remaining 51% share ASAP and return to enjoying the beautiful game again

Another great video Alfie. I’m amazed by your quality and quantity, amazing work ethic. I do have a video idea(s), I was wondering if you could make a video on the Americans who you think could become the best out of U21 players or 7 MLS players who could make it in Europe

I really do cherish these videos. If you’re interested could you maybe take a look at a few (maybe 7 or so) interviews conducted by players or managers that had damning consequences? Or something along those lines. Lukaku’s interview was the inspiration for this suggestion.

Hands down your greatest intro

Great video as always ... do one on the Southampton take over plz 👏👏

Love the effort you put in your channel 👏

That intro where Alfie did a voice caught me off guard ngl, I've never heard him do that before 🤣

Hi Alfie, I do like watching your videos as they are quite different from the most of the other football related videos here on Youtub! I have a suggestion of making a video about a small football club called DALKurd FF. In 2004 a group of young Kurdish migrant (diaspora) in small town of Borlänge in Sweden established this club. In their first year the average age of their player were only 17! Dalkurd won every division they participated in from their very first season in 2005 to 2009. Owing to this uncommon success they got a lot of media attention, both in Sweden and abroad, and finally in 2018 they promoted to the Allsvenskan Sweden’s top devotion football, and they did all that without any outside financial backing! I believe this is an interesting story

That intro was a thing of beauty

Love the reference to Roy Hodgson's infamous interview.

Yep, we're gonna need more of that 'intro voice' in future videos Alfie LOL

@HITC Sevens For your what on earth is going on series, are you planning to do a video on Birmingham City. I remember around ten years ago they won the carabao cup, and are now in a relegation battle in the championship.

2nd time asking for a video about Arbroath FC

I am a Malaga fan and this video was so sad…

Ahh yes Malaga, the "so that's where they were" club on FIFA back in those days

sorry to be nit-picky, but at 7:00 you mention that Manuel Pellegrini is Argentinian, when in fact he is Chilean.

Your intro sums up why I don't really care about football anymore except for international championships.

Does anyone know what song he uses in these videos? I can barely hear it anymore because the volume has been lowered but it’s relaxing and I’ve never figured it out

"Ooh shinny new signings" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Could you do: 7 3-way transfers, 7 best underdog youth league runs or 7 luckiest players- talent in comparison to titles won or players played with. Thanks

Great video! Suggestion for next one: WTF is going on in Czech football.

May we have a 'What on Earth is Going on' video at Hamburger SV, please?

Finally someone spoke of them

Can you make a video on the 7 nations most likely to become 1st time World Cup winners by the end of this century ?

Went to a Malaga vs Athletico Madrid match a few years ago, Great atmosphere

Great video! Only correction: Pellegrini is Chilean, not Argentine

This video is getting liked and saved in a playlist just for that intro

Do a part 2

The intro, hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oooooooh shiny signings 😂😂😂 Brilliant Alfie!

Can we see similar one to real zaragoza? I don't know why they are stuck in segunda division, they had a great team couple of years and were regular in laliga

I’ll never forget their game against Dortmund in the CL

Alfie, I love the beginning xD

I used to live there, family still do. With regards to the port that was a plan from the very beginning as was the sport city. Basically from what I've heard, both the Malaga and the Marbella Councils approved the plans for both, but supposedly the plans then have to be approved by the Junta de Andalucia which is the regional or county council. Anyway, the Junta de Andalucia is based in the main Andalucian city which is Sevilla. Plans were rejected at that level and the belief was that they were concerned about Malaga overtaking Sevilla and Real Betis in terms of size and desirability etc. Its fairly believable, the 2 cities don't really like each other mainly due to the boom Malaga has had from tourism

‪Next video idea: best returns from injury?‬

Can you please do video about biggest Legia rivals - Lech Poznan? They have one of the best academies in eastern europe and produced many talents recently.

You should do Racing Santander. It is even worse than Malaga!

Malaga is my second club and it’s sad to see what has happened

Would be good if you can do an Oldham one. plenty of stuff is happening if you can research it all.

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 256) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.

You should do st Johnstone and how they won the Scottish cup and league cup in the same season.

Great video but that Cazorla pronunciation makes me cringe 😬

As a long time "boquerón", I'm grateful for this video. Cheers Alfie, you sexy Englishman ❤️

Can you do a series about fallen giants ? teams that are used to be good but they are not anymore ? (Blackburn) I'm pretty sure you can find teams at least 7 or something similar

the intro is pretty funny xD

It was a good documentary, do you think Hull City will get new owners?

I can't believe people are still doing Jar Jar Binks impressions in 2022. I mean, it made me laugh, just caught me off guard.

That picture at 3:08 is never the rosaleda???

3:01 since you love details that's actually not Malaga, it's actually Torremolinos wich is outside Malaga

Unlike the owner/former owner of Malaga I don't happen to be connected to any war crimes. Therefore I hope I am also able to make better suggestions about football as I suggest: Day 6: Top 7 second/amateur teams in football (Hertha BSC II which almost won the DFB Pokal, Real Madrid Castilla who lost to their first team in the spanish cup in 1980 but got into Europe, Wellington Phoenix Reserves who play in the NZ National League)

Do something about Chievo Verona

How about ‘where did it all go wrong at Barnsley?’ Following the new ‘Conway out’ campaign. And how every club in the pacific group is battling against relegation following on from you episode which covered Brentford and Barnsley

Need a video where Alfie does the intro voice all way through

It was unfair the way Malaga were punished by Uefa and stopped from playing in Europe.

Is this about Newcastle United? The start of the video sounds like Newcastle!

Sad to see

Deportivo la coruna won la liga in 2000 and are now in 3rd division

In a couple years you have to go back to certain clubs in this series and see if it's gotten better or worse

Hey Alfie can you do about the story of Uniao de tomar

BVB Fan here. Just to make it clear Malagas second goal wass offside too😉😅 This game make me pass out for a few seconds... too many emotions. But i wish Malaga all the best! Nur der BVB!

I actually know his son and was around the whole takeover scene in 2011, when things got tough he placed management in his inexperienced son and his clique in which he hired as club consultants. That is when i knew that it was a sinking ship.

DAY 18 Can you please do a documentary of "How on earth did Leicester City win the Premier League?"

From about 30 seconds in I thought I'd clicked on a confusing Jar Jar Binks video
