While West Ham's form has been criminal at times, the police have urged fans to stop phoning them to report it as such.
The Hammers slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Watford on Sunday in David Moyes' first game in charge, leading one particularly irked supporter to ring the emergency services to complain.
Ringing 999 because @WestHamUtd have lost again and you aren't sure what to do is not acceptable! It is a complete waste of our time. #999foremergenciesonly

After the match, the Essex Police Force Control Room warned fans that dialling 999 just to moan about poor football results constitutes a very serious waste of police time.
