Read the reviews of the now out of stock official Livepool beach set here.

A young Liverpool fan standing in the front row behind Pepe Reina's goal during today's match in Sunderland was having a grand time knocking a Liverpool beach ball (you can see the club crest in the above image) around...until he knocked it onto the pitch and it deflected Darren Bent's shot to give Sunderland what would be the only goal of the match.

Sunderland striker, and beach ball enthusiast, has been signing the praises of that crafty sphere shaped object that felt duty bound to get involved in yesterday's proceedings.

I was in a pub in Århus, casually, and started watching the Premier League match between Sunderland and Liverpool. Not long into the match, saw one of the strangest goals I have seen: Glen Johnson shot on goal for Sunderland, and a beach ball that had been thrown onto the pitch got in the way of the ball, changing its trajectory into Liverpool's goal.

Turn your club's misfiring strikers into hotshot Darren Bents The humorous string in the already hilarious tail of the beach ball incident is that the ball is an official product sold by the club shop. The fan in question obviously decided the temperature was getting a bit too chilly for it to be of any practical [.

How beach balls can be used to help, not hinder Leeds keeper Shane Higgs showed Pepe Reina a thing or two about putting beach balls to good use when he blockaded most of his goal with inflatables ahead of last night's clash with Norwich. OTP suspects they have some very pleased sponsors this morning after this cheeky [.

This is fairly amusing. What is probably not so amusing is that the person who was dumb enough to throw the beach ball onto the pitch is probably so dumb as to probably boast about his deeds and in the long run possibly have an unfortunate accident.

Considering we've now only scored one goal in three outings, two of those at home, there is a worry that we may begin to shoot more blanks. The Newcastle front line has been fairly toothless and a lack of creative spark from midfield means we're struggling to make many chances and when they do, the [.

That's Leeds goalkeeper Shane Higgs warming up with a wall of beach balls prior to Monday night's match against Norwich at Elland Road. Leeds went on to win 2-1 on an injury time goal from Jermaine Beckford, but Higgs turned out to be in no position to be laughing at others, as he was substituted after just 17 minutes for looking shaky in his first match back from injury.

Liverpool have sold out of the £10 "Beach Set" that diverted the team's title prospects at Sunderland and will search Manchester United supporters for any offending items, including beach balls, before Sunday's Premier League clash at Anfield.

Stuff to read while you get hauled off the pitch on a door................ The beach ball gifs are already out in full force.

(Midfield Dynamo) The Bundesliga is ruined with that whole defense thing.

Another weekend of Premier League football and another surprising set of results, proving once again that this is shaping up to be the closet league for many years and it's about time too. For us neutrals the Premier League was slowly starting to resemble it's neighbors north of the boarder, with a top four (rather then a top two) dominating both the league and cup competitions.

The beach ball incident is over. Liverpool can't ask for the three points from Sunderland. With that in mind, it's time we all took a deep breath and moved on with our lives. I'm sure the players have as well especially with a mid-week clash against Lyon staring them in the face. Liverpool face the [.

Not only did Liverpool shockingly defeat Manchester United 2-0, bringing an abrupt end to their apocalyptic free-fall and the imminent sacking of Rafa Benitez, but their fans also beat United fans by being the first to barrage the pitch with the inevitable storm of beach balls.

Though the word was that United fans had bought up all the official Liverpool beach balls like the one that scored Sunderland's winning goal the weekend before and had been eagerly planning to mock their Anfield hosts with them on Sunday, it was Liverpool fans in the Kop end that were first to toss their banned inflatables just before kickoff.
