Tottenham head coach Juande Ramos wants to complete a London treble on Sunday by defeating West Ham at White Hart Lane.Ramos ended Spurs' miserable run against Arsenal with the famous 5-1 victory in the Carling Cup semi-final, before defeating Chelsea to lift the trophy at Wembley.
Beating the Hammers would give Tottenham bragging rights of sorts in the capital, even if they are behind all three of their London rivals in the Premier League.
Ramos knows about rivalries from his time at Sevilla when he faced Real Betis, although he is still learning about the British variety.
"I'm from a different country and I don't see as clearly as people in this country this rivalry 'to the death'," he said.
"It creates a great atmosphere between the two sets of supporters - and what I want to do is like against Arsenal, to beat West Ham and bring happiness to the supporters.
"We played against them in the first half of the season, so we know about the rivalry."
Ramos is determined to put the intensity back into a Tottenham squad he feels has taken its foot off the gas.
Spurs have lost against Birmingham and PSV Eindhoven since winning the Carling Cup, with Ramos issuing a warning that he is assessing which players he needs next season.
Fringe players may be given a chance on Sunday, because Spurs travel to Holland on Wednesday looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit in their UEFA Cup last-16 tie against PSV.
A weakened team may risk angering fans, although it would also give some of his squad the chance to prove they are not sitting back after ending the club's nine-year trophy drought.
"We are trying not to relax - but perhaps with winning the trophy, a little bit of relaxation sets in," said the head coach.
"What we will have to do is recover the intensity, so we can have a good end of the season.
"I hope all my players give 100% whenever they are playing - and at the end of the season, I will make my decisions depending on what I want to do."
Didier Zokora feels Spurs will have to put in their best performance of the campaign to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
"It was a frustrating night for us, because we wanted to win. PSV played very well - they were the better team," he said.
"There is no reason why we can't win the tie in Eindhoven, but it will have to be our best performance of the season."
