Leicester City: The Club That Mistook Entitlement for Identity

[PSumbler]

Let's not let this get personal eh. Someone wanted to submit content to the website which doesn't appeal to everyone. That for me is relatively simple, nobody has to read everything. There's lots of stuff I choose not to read as it doesn't float my boat.

It's certainly not an embarrassment its published as the site always welcomes opinions from everyone. Always has for 25 years and I wouldnt want that to change. It's a shame that this got personal and non constructive hence why I suspect there has been a "bite back" ("They are shit articles" is not constructive or helpful, I will stop short of adding further on this)

It's a shame but everyone is welcome to submit articles as often as they want but I think we lost a contributor. One that ironically had some praise as well as proper constructive criticism. We move on. I thought we were better than that though

I made my initial remarks, I stand by them, but I apologise for what came after. Sorry Jack!

Absolutely more than entitled not to like/interact/agree with an article - never an issue with that, never has been, I write enough of my own "rubbish" to accept that.

After 25 years I have a thick skin on my own work but for me newer contributors don't deserve that - I used to hate it in the early days!

I meant no personal offence to the writer. They’re actually very well written, especially when compared to some of the word salads you see written on the Swans. But I stand by my comments about the tone and whether it fits into this site’s overall style and tone.

You’re just nasty.

Was this really not written by ChatGPT/AI, but an actual person?

I'm not saying that as a dig, just that style reads so much like AI output that I'd be genuinely surprised/impressed if that's actually someone's writing style.

And to reiterate - I'm not saying that as a stick to beat anyone with, just curious.

Just to clear something up. The match previews I post come from my own head. I do use AI to fine tune bits like structure, phrasing, and the odd stat check, but the ideas, tone, and intent are mine. Every line starts with me.

I get that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. Some want cold stats, some want banter, some want nothing at all. That’s fine. But I’ve had positive feedback too from fans who appreciate a bit of colour, a bit of edge, and something different from the usual rinse and repeat.

I’m not here to please everyone. I write them because I enjoy it. I’ll keep writing them because I enjoy it. If some of the critique helps sharpen future previews, fair enough. I’ll take it on board. But I won’t be diluting the style just to fit a mould.

Thanks to those who read, comment, or even just scroll past. It’s all part of the game.

Don't let the odd one or two put you off. We can't all enjoy the same things.

At no point is anyone forced to read your articles.

That's a great point and one that I didn't even consider.

We should an award for the most sensible post of the year

Sensible is unusual for me, but I'll take it

Got to be honest it did take me by surprise

Fair enough. I used to write stuff for this site a lifetime ago. I know how much effort can go into it, and how praise is great and criticism can really sting.

I don’t know what it was back then, but we had quite a few people volunteering to offer content, but not so much now, so kudos to you for sticking your neck out and having a go - and not going half-hearted either
