LETS HAVE IT SIMPLE!!! A COMMON THREAD???...

GIVEN BELOW IS A SET OF FOUR QUESTIONS...I'D SAY THEY ARE PRETTY SIMPLE IN THE LIGHT OF THE STANDARD SET BY THE QUIZZERS...THE ADDITIONAL CATCH THIS TIME IS TO IDENTIFY THE UNDERLYIN THEME....



1 FILL IN THE BLANK...
This was suppsed to be one of the most famous cartoons published...





THE ANSWER IS RUPERT MURDOCH.


2)
•X is a British professional rugby club currently sponsored by one of Britain's biggest shopping centres, The Trafford Centre.
•Their current home ground is known as The Willows.The club is set to move to a new purpose-built 20,000 capacity stadium in the Barton-upon-Irwell area of Eccles in 2009.
•During an early tour to France, the French press labeled them as playing like devils and hence gave them a nickname that became highly famous in sporting circles.
•Id X and the nickname


THE SALFORD CITY REDS AND THE NICKNAME IS THE 'RED DEVILS'


3)
•This company X takes its name from one of its founder's first inventions, a mechanical pencil, which was invented by Tokuji Hayakawa in 1915. Since then it has developed into one of the leading electronics companies in the world
•The company’s notable achievements include the world's first all-transistor desktop calculator in 1964 and the first LCD calculator in 1973.
•Very simple.. Find X

SHARP ELECTRONICS



4) Identify this guy???you've pretty much wrapped up the theme



MALCOLM GLAZER

THE THEME IS THE MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB

THE NICKNAME 'THE RED DEVILS' HAD BEEN ADOPTED FROM THE SALFORD CITY REDS RUGBY TEAM

SHARP ELECTRONICS HAD SPONSORED THE CLUB FOR THE LONGEST PERIOD OF TIME FROM 1982 TILL 2000

RUPERT MURDOCH MADE A FAILED ATTEMPT TO TAKEOVER THE MAN UTD TEAM IN 1998

MALCOLM GLAZER CURRENTLY OWNS THE MAN UTD CLUB

THIS QUESTION WAS A TRIBUTE TO ALL MAN UTD FANS REJOICING THEIR CLUB'S VICTORY.KUDOS TO PETER AND SYLVIAN.

The connect is UNITED...
The rugby club is the salford city reds and their nick name is RED DEVILS

The company is SHARP which was UNITED's past jersey sponsor

The person in the pic is Malcolm Glazer whose family fully owns UNITED

I'm not sure about the cartoon but i'm guessing AIG...

And good going varun... A great theme in MAN UTD especially after we've won the league...

Connect: Manchester United

1. Rupert Murdoch- because he buys all the newspapers and this cartoon specifies he will buy even school test papers - rupert murdoch made failed attempt to buy Man U. It was the biggest bid ever given

2. Salford City Reds - Red Devils from where Man U took it from

3. Sharp- Shirt Sponsor for Man U till 2000

4. malcolm Glazer - who owns Man U Currently..

I should have killed myself if i hadn't answered this being a Man U fan.

@ sylvian
You're an United fan too??? tats cool...

But being an united fan you must never refer to it as MAN U.. its a demeaning and derogatory term used by the damn scousers referring to the munich tragedy... Its always MAN UTD or just UTD
