In regards to the Chelsea/Liverpool semi I would imagine that it'll be closer than you think. Liverpool won the first time with a nonexistant goal and the second time on penalties, Chelsea can pull it off and hopefully so can Barca since the games with those two are fantastic to watch.
But if United with the squad they have and Ronaldo in probably the best form he'll ever be in don't somehow win it then I would be surprised.

Well, well, well the day the title could be decided and Man Utd make a mess of it, to be honest it was so blatantly obvious that Ronaldo wasn't playing...but its like that with most of their games, when he doesn't Man Utd lack goal threat and pace that is effective.
If they are as bad as they were today. Barca vs Chelsea/Liverpool CL final for sure.
...and over the past few months its been a disgrace how English players have been towards the referee. I'm glad Capello has seen Ferdiand's actions. Its a shame they are good players and needed otherwise I would kick Cole/Terry/Ferdinand/Hargreaves/Rooney straight out of the England team

Cole, Ferdinand and Hargreaves can get booted for all I care. Cole has his head in the clouds, Ferdinand is only a shadow of the player he was at Leeds and I've never liked Owen Hargreaves. Stick Joleon Lescott in at centre half, I think. He's earned it twice over.
Carlisle also threw away their automatic promotion bid today by going down 3-0 at Millwall while Doncaster and Nottm Forest both got wins. And our defensive rock & captain Danny Livesey got sent off, so he'll only make the play off final. Ah well, Wembley here we come!

As much as those players are assholes towards refs they should be kicked out for the squad for the way they regularly don't play for the national team alone. Sadly I can't see that happening anytime soon, especially players at the bigger clubs.
Also United should probably still win the league fine, Chelsea have the slightly harder last games I believe since they play Newcastle who have decided to do well now.

Wonder if Celtic fans will congratulate us finally or will continue to delude themselves about how good we actually are at times? Still we've not guaranteed anything yet so I'm going to take it as it comes but whatever happens it's been a far better season than we've had for a few years and I'm loving it.

I want Rangers to win but to be honest I can't see it happening if Zenit play at their best since they've come through much harder ties an tortured them...ie, Bayern Munich yesterday.
But I'm not all that bothered about the UEFA Cup to be honest. The Champions league is where its all that...Chelsea vs Manchester United...all English final...goes to show that the Premiership IS the best league in the world.

The Italians had 3 teams in the semi-final a few years ago with AC Milan and Juventus reaching the final. Does that mean they where the best league in the world then?

They were at the time, yes, the same as La Liga has been for a few years with Sevilla winning the UEFA Cup twice and Barca won the champions league 
Yet you can't deny it when Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool got to the semi finals and then Man Utd and Chelsea are in the final. AC Milan were destroyed by Arsenal in the 2nd leg, Liverpool comfortably beat Inter and Man Utd beat Roma AGAIN! The Italians are hardly a force nowadays after half their players left because of Juve's and AC's cheating ways.
The same this year with the Spaniards not exactly doing much, Sevilla were beat in one of the easier ties, Real beat by Roma and Man Utd beating Barca albeit not great score wise but Barca yet again waited for the last 20mins of the 2nd leg to start kicking into gear (like against Liverpool last year) and end up losing.
...but at the end of the day we've had an English team in the final for 4 years running and 3 in the semis for 2 years running. So I would say yeah, the Premiership is the best
