Journalese intut

Journo: "Chris, would you say that your season is finally up and running now?"

CH: non-committal grunt, or "well I suppose you could say that"

Headline: "Chris Hughton admits his season is finally up and running"

Have you noticed how in newspaper world no-one ever "says" anything? They "insist" or "admit" things instead.
