Capital gains inspire Turner
Sunderland defender Michael Turner is hoping to re-live one of his best memories in football to date as he heads for Tottenham on Saturday.[LNB]A little more than 12 months ago, the Londoner was part of the Hull side which, eight days after claiming a remarkable 2-1 victory at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, went to White Hart Lane and emerged once again with all three points.[LNB]The two victories came in a blistering start to life in the Barclays Premier League for the newly-promoted Tigers, and by the time they secured their sixth victory in nine attempts at West Brom the following month, there was no hint of the desperate fight for survival which was to come.[LNB]This time around, Turner will run out at Spurs, who lost 3-0 to the Gunners last weekend, wearing Black Cats colours, and hoping a repeat of last season's heroics will help fuel Sunderland's attempt to establish themselves in the upper reaches of the league table.[LNB]The 25-year-old said: "That period was very memorable. Beating Arsenal and Spurs away was an unbelievable achievement. They were great times.[LNB]"We are going into the game on the back of a good result at the weekend and they have been beaten in the North London derby, so they are going to be wanting to get things back on track. But it should be a good game and it's one we are looking forward to."
