EL-HADJI Diouf will not seek forgiveness when he comes face to face with Arjen De Zeeuw at the JJB Stadium - and he will get none.

The Senegal striker insists he has served his time for spitting in the face of the Dutch defender last November, when De Zeeuw captained Portsmouth to a 1-0 win at the Reebok.

And he believes he can do no more than he did - issuing a public apology and taking his punishment- a club fine and a three match FA ban.

"It's finished," Diouf said. "It may be that other people are talking about me but from my point of view it's forgotten.

"The only thing I am thinking about is my football and helping my team-mates win the game.

"I paid the fine and did the three games, so all that's gone now."

De Zeeuw, who now captains Wigan after his summer move from Pompey, says he will never forgive Diouf.

He refused to acknowledge the Bolton man when the pair met again at Fratton Park in the return fixture in May and is expected to snub him again when the teams shake hands.

"We will not be exchanging birthday cards," De Zeeuw said.

Diouf feels he can do no more than let his football do the talking, as he did in May, when he scored after just 11 minutes in the 1-1 draw at Portsmouth that secured Wanderers' UEFA Cup qualification.

"He said 'Hello' to everyone but he didn't say 'Hi' to me, " he said, recalling De Zeeuw's snub.

"But I made my reply by scoring my goal."
