In this photograph, taken during the 2007 pre-season friendly between Barnet and Arsenal at Underhill, Barnet, the focus is on Spanish midfielder Fran Merida as he skillfully maneuvers the ball past a Barnet defender. Merida, who had joined Arsenal from RCD Espanyol just a year prior, was making his mark on the Arsenal squad with his impressive ball control, vision, and tenacity. The image captures a pivotal moment in the match, with Arsenal leading 2-0 and Merida poised to create another scoring opportunity. The crowd at Underhill, a historic football ground in North London, can be seen in the background, their cheers and chants echoing through the air as they eagerly anticipate the next Arsenal attack. Merida's Arsenal career began with much promise, and he quickly became a fan favorite due to his technical ability and work ethic. However, injuries and inconsistent form prevented him from reaching the heights many believed he was capable of. Despite this, Merida's time at Arsenal saw him make 21 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing three assists. This photograph serves as a reminder of Merida's brief yet impactful time at Arsenal and the excitement he brought to the team during the 2007-08 season. It also highlights the rich history of football in North London and the passion that exists between the fans and their teams.
