It has been a terrific week for Boro both on and off the pitch.
Sunday's fantastic victory over league leaders Arsenal was followed by the news that the club are taking positive action to try and attract fans back to the Riverside by reducing admission prices for the under elevens to £9 in all areas of the stadium.
Certainly if the remaining home games produce the drama that the demolition of the Gunners did, then not only will we see the return of big crowds to back the team, but it will also see the side move rapidly away from the relegation zone and into a position of mid-table safety.
The key test for many fans though is coming this Saturday at Pride Park as Boro switch from facing the top club to a Derby County side at the bottom of the table.
I can still hear the warning words from my granddad as we watched Boro from the Holgate End. Over the years he had seen the team beat the best and then lose to the worst. Let's hope that doesn't come true at Derby.
This will be Paul Jewell's first home game in charge of the Rams and he will certainly have his players fired up for the match, even though he has not had an immediate impact as the new boss.
County have lost at both Sunderland and then Manchester United in his opening two fixtures.
The Derby stats tell a story of a struggling club and one whose misery Boro must exploit.
County have only one Premier League win to show for their season and have scored only six goals (that's roughly one every four hours). They also have the weakest defence in the top flight, leaking thirty eight goals (again the maths show that's one every thirty-eight minutes).
Meanwhile the training ground has been a happy place to be for the Boro players, with one of the biggest smiles belonging to Tuncay.
Tuncay arrived with the reputation as the 'King of Fenerbache" but struggled to make an instant impact. His goal at Reading, however, seems to have produced a huge boost to his confidence.
Tuncay was magnificent in the win over Arsenal and his work rate was phenomenal. The Turkish international also grabbed his second goal in as many games and the adulation when he came off late in the game was similar to the affection shown to Juninho.
It is all now down to consistency and if Tuncay can reproduce that form on a regular basis he will take the Premier League by storm.
His partnership with Jeremie Aliadiere seemed an unlikely alliance when they were paired together as it's not the traditional "big one small one' combination. Both rely more on pace as opposed to a physical presence but it worked well last Sunday and a repeat at Pride Park will give the home defenders a run around.
A big talking point amongst the fans this week has been the advert featuring David Wheater aimed at getting fans back to the stadium. Personally, I think it is terrific.
Wheater has supported the club from boyhood and certainly speaks from the heart.
It's not only that though as his form this season has been excellent. He has quickly adjusted to playing regular first team football.
Some of his full blooded challenges against the Gunners would have brought a roar of approval from the hard to please fans that used to stand in the "chicken run" at Ayresome Park and if he continues his rapid improvement we might have found a new Tony Mowbray. There can be no higher praise than that!
The Boro fans have also been in terrific voice recently, out-shouting the home fans at Reading and then creating a wonderful, noisy Riverside Stadium for the Arsenal match. Support of that quality does make a difference and will, I am sure, be repeated at Derby.
Bernie and I will be reflecting on all the action from Pride Park in Simply Red on Century fm on Sunday.
There will be all the usual features, including the chance to win Sunday lunch for two at the Bluebell and tickets to see Boro against West Ham United courtesy of Ladbrokes and the Hillstreet Shopping Centre.
Guests will include Terry Cochrane and Dean Windass so why not join in the fun by giving us a call on 08450021100 or text 85102. The fun starts at 11am.
After the show I will be heading for Stockton High Street to help judge the final of the World Parmo Championship. Any chance to sample Teesside's favourite food is never turned down and the response to the search for the top parmo has been unbelievable.
The top three finalists will produce their best parmos on Sunday from 2-30pm and if you can get along I look forward to seeing you there. It certainly beats a turkey sandwich!
Up the Boro!!!

A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £41.20 ON PORTSMOUTH v FULHAM
Did you know that it is possible to win money on Sunday afternoon's Premiership clash between Portsmouth v Fulham, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 3.00pm and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £41.20, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £41.20 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
You can still do this if you have a Betfair account but your overall profit will be reduced by £25.00 as you won't receive the £25.00 cashback as an existing account holder.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £71.00 on the Portsmouth v Fulham match and we will collect £115.00 if Portsmouth win, £112.20 if Fulham win and £114.13 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of 58%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Coral. It is really important that you enter the bonus code of CORALTD when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Betfair. It is really important that you enter the promotional code of BFB425 when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Extrabet
 .
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.

Deposit £26.00 into your new Betfair account.
Deposit £25.00 into your Extrabet

3. Now make the following bets.
Place £20.00 on Portsmouth at 3.00 (2/1) with Coral.
Coral will now add a £10.00 bonus to your account. Place this on Portsmouth as well. You will now have £30.00 riding on Portsmouth.
Back the draw with £25.00 at 3.7 (11/4) (or higher if available) with Betfair.
Place £26.00 on Fulham at 2.2 (6/5) with Extrabet .
Extrabet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £51.00 riding on Fulham.

If you are unsure about placing these bets, please feel free to mail us or call us on 01642 223229 and we will talk you through it, no problem at all. There is no such thing as a stupid question.
You have temporarily laid out a total of £71.00 on the Portsmouth v Fulham match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.
If Portsmouth win, you collect £115.00. That's £90.00 from Coral plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If it's a draw, you collect £114.13. That's £89.13 from Betfair plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If Fulham win you collect £112.20. That's £87.20 from Extrabet plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Portsmouth v Fulham match is Fulham win and you make £41.20 profit. However, if it is a draw you make £43.13 and if Portsmouth win you make £44.00. That's a minimum profit of 58%, a much better rate of interest that you would get at any high street bank or building society.

We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for four seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
