Troy Deeney admits the FA Cup does not excite him and insists there is nothing special about Watfords semi-final against Wolves on Sunday.The Hornets have a rare opportunity to reach the final and win the competition, with Manchester City the only top-six side left – but Deeney is treating the fixture like any other game.2

Troy Deeney wants more respect for Watford

Ive played in an FA Cup semi-final before, so I wouldnt say its the biggest game of my career, he told talkSPORT.Ive got a weird feeling about this one; it doesnt excite me too much, it doesnt make me go, Ah! Its just another game.Weve had two games this week, Im knackered. Im literally just preparing like its another game.” talkSPORTs Ian Abrahams takes issue with this, pointing out that the FA Cup has never been more winnable for a team like Watford and silverware could cement Deeney’s legacy at the club.The Hornets captain interjects: What do you mean a team like Watford?Moose explains he means a team outside the top six, but the Hornets skipper argues that his club dont get the respect they deserve.2

Watford are enjoying a fine season

Watford have already surpassed their best ever points tally for a Premier League season – and currently sit eighth in the table.Im just a weird person, Im not the person who goes, Its the semi-final now!I just want people to understand the perspective. People always say its a big occasion for teams outside the top six, but we’re trying to get in this situation more regularly.
