With Arsenal off to a great start this season [I am reliably informed by EG's Paul Norman that they are the "flair team" - which sounds like positive street patwa to me] some of their success appears to have rubbed of on one of their greatest supporters.
Antony Spencer, the man who masterplanned Arsenal's Emirates stadium, regeneration has won a £300,000 High Court damages claim against a neighbour fro for trespassing into his airspace.
Following a three-day High Court trial, Spencer's Stadium Capital Holdings, which owns a development site in Hampstead, won its claim against a neighbour that had erected an advertising hoarding on an adjoining building at 279a Finchley Road.
Sir Donald Rattee dismissed SMPC's claim that it had acquired the air space by way of adverse possession and ordered that Stadium Capital should receive £313,972 in damages for the trespass.
EG's finance spod Mike Phillips says that may buy him Robin Van Persie for a month - if he needs any early Christmas presents wrapping.
