Please prepare yourself for months of shameless self-promotion, mute me on socials, feel free to avoid me in public etc, because my next book — A Fabulous Debt: The Epic Story of How Bonds Built the Modern World — is now officially available for pre-orders.

@simonhancock_uk I don’t actually believe in the conspiracy theory. But the argument is obviously that the ref didn’t *afterwards* disallow the goal and award a drop kick, as the rules stipulate. And let’s face it, FIFA doesn’t exactly have a ton of earned credibility in the bank.

@RobinWigg Are you suggesting that the officials deliberately covered up the ball hitting the cable because they predicted it would land at the feet of an English player on the halfway line who would then go on to create a goal?

@AndyMuckaluck Honestly, no. But the corner goal should have stood. Elliot Anderson goes down like a sack of potatoes.

The English goalie hit his own player and a Norwegian player got the yellow card. FIFA innovation!

The technology can pick up the brush of a Croat hair but not a clear deflection off a cable. What do FIFA take us for?

FIFA insist there's no evidence to suggest the ball hit a stadium cable in the build-up to England’s equalising goal against Norway. They told us: "We have checked the data from the adidas Connected Ball and it shows no peak on the graph from the heartbeat sensor." #NORENG

This is just the first of two episodes on the South Sea Company, the crisis it caused, and how the clean-up transformed British politics — making Robert Walpole the country's first (and still-longest serving) prime minister.

It was the biggest debt swap in history, a brilliant transaction that transformed Britain. But it also led to one of the biggest financial crises ever, ruining the likes of Isaac Newton. Yep, The Story of Money is finally tackling the South Sea Bubble. 🥳 youtube.com/watch?v=tecr6i…
