King - Spurs can be proud
edley King believes Tottenham can hold their heads high following Sunday's Carling Cup final defeat to Manchester United.
Spurs fought United through 120 goalless minutes at Wembley, but lost 4-1 in a penalty shoot-out as Jamie O'Hara and David Bentley failed from the spot.
However, captain King feels that he and his team-mates can be pleased with their performance against United, who rested the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Edwin van der Sar, while Wayne Rooney was missing with a virus.
"We are aware in finals one team has to win and one team has to lose, but I thought we gave a good account of ourselves," King told Sky Sports.
"Penalties is never a nice way to lose.
"People will say they (United) had a weakened team but they still had top players out in a team they obviously thought could win.
"We thought we could win it and we created some good chances during the game and we got a little bit tired and we had to hang on.
"But I can't fault the lads for the effort we put in."
