Football summed up in one Danny Welbeck quote
You really should have, Danny

Between a quote from Arsenal Striker Danny Welbeck and a headline from the Metro, the crux of what football is all about was finally cracked this week: kicking it in the net loads.
Readers were advised to rush to page 62 for Welbeck's profound observation on Monday, which posits that there's a correlation between scoring goals and being successful at football.
I thoroughly approve of this paraphrasing of quotes, and look forward to such headlines as 'Federer: Hitting it inside the lines helps' and 'Pacquiao: Should probably punch him the goddamn head more'.
If you're interested, here's Welbeck's quote in full:
"It has been a transitional season for me, moving down to London, playing in a new system for a new manager and a new team, getting used to new things around the club.
"I've been a bit unhappy with goals at club level but it is something that I know will come in abundance in the future. I'm pretty sure of that so hopefully the goals will come. I've had quite a few good performances where I haven't scored a goal and if I had, things would be different. I’m happy about the move to Arsenal and I think things will go well for me in the future."
