Why are the good ones slipping and the bad ones rising?! I'd get rid of at least 2 of the top 6 ahead of any of the bottom 5 (Bang Bang the weakest of the bottom 5 though). But agree with the general consensus that this is a pretty weak round compared to the rest of the 70s.

Well, they are in the fucking 00s game anyway.

 

Interestingly I’ve found that the earlier the decade, the more the result goes my way. The 90s and 00s games have been utterly crushing for me despite that being my era.
