Newcastle to ban guilty fansNewcastle have condemned supporters who were involved in violent scenes after Sunday's derby defeat to Sunderland.
Police made 29 arrests after they were pelted with bottles in city-centre disorder which forced the closure of the Metro for a short period.
And Newcastle have promised to ban for life any supporter found guilty of taking part in the disturbances.
A club statement read: "We were embarrassed and appalled by the behaviour of a minority of so-called fans who last night were involved in disturbances and disorder in Newcastle city centre after the match.
"Newcastle United have been working with Northumbria Police, and will continue to do so, in order to identify all of the individuals concerned.
"The club will take the strongest possible action against those involved in the disturbances and will impose immediate lifetime bans on all those found guilty.
"These deplorable individuals have no place at Newcastle United and bring shame on the club and the vast majority of its proper, law-abiding, fans."

Police horse fine after fan attackA police horse attacked by a Newcastle fan following Sunday's Tyne-Wear derby defeat is back home in his paddock safe and well, officers say.
Bud, of West Yorkshire Police's mounted section, was controlling crowds at the Newcastle v Sunderland match yesterday when a fan apparently tried to punch him.
A total of 29 supporters have now been arrested after sporadic violence spread across Newcastle city centre.
Video footage of the skirmishes showed crowds picking up empty glass bottles and throwing them towards police.
Pictures and video also emerged of a man apparently swinging at the police horse.
However, Bud's suspected attacker was wrestled to the ground by officers and Northumbria Police today said he has been bailed pending further inquiries.
Three police officers were also injured during clashes with Newcastle fans after the side's 3-0 defeat at St James' Park.
Today the West Yorkshire Police Horses Twitter account tweeted a picture of Bud, saying he was not injured during the scuffle and is now back home in West Yorkshire.
West Yorkshire Police Horses said: "Bud is safe in his stable and appears fine. All our horses are fit and well, resting and relaxed."
It showed photos of Bud in his paddock this morning and thanked people for their concern, many of whom had asked how he was via the networking site.
Yesterday Chief Superintendent Steve Neill, of Northumbria Police, said: "The vast majority of fans were well behaved today and enjoyed the Tyne-Wear derby for the great occasion that it is.
"Disappointingly, there was some disorder involving what appear to be Newcastle United supporters following the match in the city centre, including an incident at Central Station.
"Disruptive behaviour of any kind is not tolerated. Inquiries will take place into these incidents and action will be taken against all those involved."
West Yorkshire Police has 18 horses in its mounted section, which it uses to police football matches up and down the country and for ceremonial occasions, according to the force's website.
