Saturday was a day of wonderful celebration but every silver lining has its cloud and this came in the form of the players murdering our mascot, Kingsley the lion.

Poor Kingsley was a lion to the celebration slaughter. Look at Siddy in that first pic. There's proper evil in his eyes there.

And to add insult to injury, Steve Sidwell parades his head to the blood-hungry crowd on the pitch:

RIP Kingsley Royal.
