Arsenal fan attacks Dele Alli with bottle in the Gunners' EPL Cup defeat (video)

Tottenham forward Dele Alli was on Wednesday night, December 19, hit with a plastic object thrown by aggrieved Arsenal fan who is believed to be livid with the goal the Englishman scored against the Gunners.

Arsenal have crashed out in the 2018/19 Carabao Cup after losing at home against Premier League rivals Tottenham, and it was Dele Alli who scored the winning goal for the visitors.

But the player received a bad reception from yet unknown Arsenal fan who threw a bottle from the stands and hit Alli's head, but the Englishman handled the situation professionally.

Dele Alli held up two fingers on one hand and made an O with his other to gloat over the visitors' lead in the second half of the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash.

"It makes the goal and the win a little bit sweeter." Dele Alli reacted about the incident.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino called for Arsenal to punish the "stupid" fan who threw the bottle.

He said: "Luckily it wasn’t a big problem tonight but it could have been a big issue and I hope Arsenal can take some responsibility and identify who threw the bottle.

“For me, we hate each in a good way but that was in a bad way when you want to damage an opponent.

“But it is was only one stupid person who made a mistake and I think Arsenal will use the cameras to identify the person.” he explained according to UK Sun.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
